Abstract 'Smart'bandages based on multimodal wearable devices could enable real-time
physiological monitoring and active intervention to promote healing of chronic wounds …

Recent research has highlighted the importance of key tumor microenvironment features,
notably the collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) in characterizing tumor invasion and …

Second harmonic generation (SHG) and third harmonic generation (THG) microscopies
have emerged as powerful imaging modalities to examine structural properties of a wide …

The extracellular matrix (ECM), a major component of the tumor microenvironment,
promotes local invasion to drive metastasis. Here, we describe a method to study whole …

Burns and other traumatic injuries represent a substantial biomedical burden. The current
standard of care for deep injuries is autologous split-thickness skin grafting (STSG), which …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and ultimately fatal disease. Recent
findings have shown a marked metabolic reprogramming associated with changes in …

Tissue repair and healing remain among the most complicated processes that occur during
postnatal life. Humans and other large organisms heal by forming fibrotic scar tissue with …

Biological scaffolds such as hydrogels provide an ideal, physio‐mimetic of native
extracellular matrix (ECM) that can improve wound healing outcomes after cutaneous injury …

Despite recent advances in understanding skin scarring, mechanisms triggering
hypertrophic scar formation are still poorly understood. In the present study, we investigate …

Background: Collagen fibers surrounding breast ducts may influence breast cancer
progression. Syndecan-1 interacts with constituents in the extracellular matrix, including …
