Vascular endothelial growth factor plays a central role in extracellularmatrix degradation.
3
IL-17A directly influences activation and extracellularmatrix production by lung mesenchymal cells.
4
Tumor progression alters the composition and physical properties of the extracellularmatrix.
5
Moreover, mechanical strain induced expression of the extracellularmatrix molecule collagen IalphaI.
1
Organic and inorganic boneextracellularmatrix components determine bone strength.
2
Initially, when placed in culture, these cells actively proliferate while expressing genes associated with biosynthesis of the boneextracellularmatrix.
3
This work consists of the validation of a novel approach to estimate the local anisotropic elastic constants of the boneextracellularmatrix using nanoindentation.
