This study shows that hydrogel dimensionality affects how tendon fibroblasts respond to mechanical cues, altering nascent matrix deposition.

The paper shows that nascent extracellular matrix converts hydrogel chemical cues into cell fate decisions, with low modification promoting differentiation and high modification promoting proliferation.

This study identifies decorin-mediated extracellular matrix stabilization as a key factor in maintaining cartilage integrity during aging, showing its role in preventing age-associated osteoarthritis.

This study shows decorin strengthens collagen II-aggrecan integration in cartilage matrix, reducing aggrecan loss and supporting its therapeutic potential for osteoarthritis.

This study investigates the structure-mechanical properties and mechanobiological functions of the pericellular matrix in fibrocartilage, highlighting the critical role of collagen V in maintaining its integrity and function.
