This study uses femtosecond laser ablation to measure collagen fiber recoil in tendons, showing that hyaluronic acid (HA) is critical for fiber sliding and mechanical properties.

This study compares the progression of skeletal muscle atrophy caused by fasting and disuse across different muscle fiber types using transcriptomic analysis.

The paper shows that an ECM template forms independently of muscle but requires muscle for proper MTJ-specific ECM assembly during limb development.

This study examines ECM protein composition changes during murine forelimb development using mass spectrometry and BONCAT, revealing dynamic differences in matrisome composition across developmental stages and tissue types.

This study investigates the role of mechanical loading in ECM deposition at the developing murine myotendinous junction, finding that cyclic loading is necessary for mature morphology.

This paper maps the 3D dynamics of the extracellular matrix during murine kidney development, identifying transient changes in interstitial matrix proteins and their spatial organization.
