Modeling Extracellular Matrix-Cell Interactions in Lung Repair and Chronic Disease
The lung extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex and dynamic mixture of fibrous proteins (collagen, elastin), glycoproteins (fibronectin, laminin), glycosaminoglycans (heparin, hyaluronic acid) and proteoglycans (perlecan, versican), that are essential for normal lung development and organ health [....
