In recent years, interest has grown around two investigational peptides, BPC-157 and TB-500, proposed as part of a combined ...

• A dual-function peptide developed for in-situ engineering native extracellular matrix. • The dual-function peptide specifically anchors endogenous endothelial cells to extracellular matrix. Ischemic ...

University researchers have developed a new connective tissue model to study disorders like fibrosis, a type of scarring that occurs when damage to the body causes normal tissue to be replaced by hard ...

Growing from a single cell into a complex organism with specialized tissues and organs requires a complex and coordinated process. But the mechanical signals that guide tissue and organ ...

Researcher Marley Dewey, an assistant professor of bioengineering at UC Santa Barbara, has received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research award to support her work on recently discovered ...

For in vitro cellular assays, the extracellular matrix—the material between cells—often is overlooked, but changes within this microenvironment affect cells’ proliferation and differentiation and, ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...
