In contrast, pathological ECM calcification can be observed in any tissue of the body. The fact that only skeletal ECM mineralizes under physiological conditions inspires one to question whether ...

Two innovative new developments out of the same laboratory have demonstrated that degraded cartilage can be repaired and ...

Organization of different cell types and the extracellular matrix (ECM) into an intact tissue architecture is essential for tissue renewal and differentiation and can function as barrier to disease ...

Using a combination of computer simulations and experimental studies, a team of researchers is uncovering vital clues into ...

It is relatively easy to grow cells in the lab but turning them into realistic models of human tissue is harder. This requires creating an environment that closely mirrors the conditions in the body’s ...
