Consequently, extracellular matrix composition also influences cardiac reprogramming (Kong et al., 2013).
Extracellular matrix composition can modulate stem cell fate and direct differentiation.
Liver fibrosis is characterized by changes in tissue architecture and extracellular matrix composition.
In natural tissues, the extracellular matrix composition, cell density and physiological properties are often non-homogeneous.
Bovine pericardium following AR (BP-AR) was assessed for residual antigenicity, tensile properties, and extracellular matrix composition.
We examined the histological appearance, DNA content and extracellular matrix composition of human donor tracheae decellularized using these techniques.
We investigated the expression pattern of regulating cytokines and the extracellular matrix composition to elucidate those changes.
It is driven by intercellular adhesions, cell contractility, and forces generated within the microenvironment and is dependent on extracellular matrix composition, organization, and compliance.
The tendon/ligament-to-bone transition (enthesis) is a highly specialized interphase tissue with structural gradients of extracellular matrix composition, collagen molecule alignment and mineralization.
The interaction between FMOD and lysyl oxidase (LOX; collagen cross-linking enzyme) helps regulate extracellular matrix composition, and thereby, provides a permissive environment for regulating cellular turnover.
This study seeks to address the lack of available quantitative data characterizing the extracellular matrix composition of the discal attachments and how these properties compare to the disc.
