Crossing Into the Next Frontier of Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Research.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex and dynamic entity that drives the formation and development of the cardiovascular system, determines critical aspects of cardiovascular performance, and plays key roles in the initiation and progression of abnormal cardiovascular function with aging and disease. Microscopic studies in the late 1700s identified fibrous structures surrounding cells, wh...
