Tissue repair and the dynamics of the extracellular matrix

Repair of tissue after injury depends on the synthesis of a fibrous extracellular matrix to replace lost or damaged tissue. Newly deposited extracellular matrix is then re-modeled over time to emulate normal tissue. The extracellular matrix directs repair by regulating the behavior of the wide varie...
