In recent years, interest has grown around two investigational peptides, BPC-157 and TB-500, proposed as part of a combined research-oriented protocol to explore tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and ...

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 ...

A new 3D connective tissue model gives researchers a sophisticated tool to understand the underlying mechanisms of connective tissue disorders and test potential treatments. To find treatments for ...

• 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 ...

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, ...

A connective tissue protein known to support the framework of organs also encourages immune responses that fight bacterial infections, while restraining responses that can be deadly in the condition ...
