The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the noncellular component critical in the maintenance of
organ structure and the regulation of tissue development, organ structure, and cellular …

Fibroblasts differentiate into the highly synthetic and contractile myofibroblast phenotype
when exposed to substrates with an elastic modulus corresponding to pathologically stiff …

Algal polysaccharides, harnessed for their catalytic potential, embody a compelling narrative
in sustainable chemistry. This review explores the complex domains of algal carbohydrate …

Breathing involves fluid-solid interactions in the lung; however, the lack of experimental data
inhibits combining the mechanics of air flow to airway deformation, challenging the …

Both mechanotransduction and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteolytic remodeling are critical
during embryonic development and in disease progression. Although mechanical stress is …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the lung provides physical support and key mechanical
signals to pulmonary cells. Although lung ECM is continuously subjected to different stretch …

Transpulmonary pressure and the mechanical stresses of breathing modulate many
essential cell functions in the lung via mechanotransduction. We review how mechanical …

There are no therapies to prevent emphysema progression. Chymotrypsin-like elastase 1
(CELA1) is a serine protease that binds and cleaves lung elastin in a stretch-dependent …

Rationale: The rate of decline of lung function is greater than age-related change in a
substantial proportion of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, even after …
