In #Alzheimer's patient's brains, the #amyloid plagues are found within #collagens (#ECM). To study the interaction of ECM and amyloid beta, Eline Jongsma built a novel in-vivo system to study amyloid beta aggregation and removal in the ECM. doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

🧵 1/2 #chronicdisease often leads to #fibrosis. The Stockmann lab UZH Anatomy University of Zurich and colleagues developed an #immunotherapy that specifically targets the cause while leaving normal tissue cells unharmed. This could lead to an effective #treatment for fibrosis! doi.org/10.1016/j.stem…

Congrats to Paul Hiebert ⁦Werner Lab ETH⁩ ⁦ETH Zurich⁩ ⁦🇨🇭 Swiss Society for Matrix Biology⁩ winning the Rupert Timpl award 2020 and was finally able to present at #mbe2022. #nrf2 #ecm #matrisome #aging #senescence

Forceful talk by ⁦Amro Hussien⁩ ⁦The Snedeker Lab⁩ ⁦ETH Zurich⁩ representing the ⁦🇨🇭 Swiss Society for Matrix Biology⁩ for the #Heinegard award at the #MBE2022

Full house to see Viola Vogel talk at the #MBE2022. #fibronectin under tension. #tumor #ECM ETH Zurich 🇨🇭 Swiss Society for Matrix Biology

Fascinating talk by Collin Ewald on #longevity, #collagen and #mechanotransduction! Lots to think about...(also never knew c elegans have 181 collagens!) #MBE2022 #ECMatrix

Great insights from #mechanical #tension to #calcium signaling via #piezo with #clinical implications for #aged and #injured #tendons by ⁦The Snedeker Lab⁩ ⁦ETH Zurich⁩ ⁦🇨🇭 Swiss Society for Matrix Biology⁩ #mbe2022

🚀Just launched! 📣New #CallForPapers -- The #ExtracellularMatrix and its Derived Effector Molecules in Aging: Regulators and Therapeutic Targets 📝We invite research on the ECM’s many biomechanical effects on #aging: ow.ly/krAT50L2BKI ▶️Guest Editor Collin Ewald

New publication by Paul Hiebert and colleagues SKINTEGRITY.CH identifies a novel role for the antioxidant transcription factor #NRF2 in regulating the #ECM. Great insight into the potential impact on #skin #aging! doi.org/10.1016/j.matb… ETH Zurich Unispital_USZ #dermatology

Many text books and publications state “#collagen is the most abundant protein making up 30% of total protein in mammals”. However, a direct measurement is missing. Here, we quantified total collagen of entire mice, which is 12-17%. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How does matrix stiffness impact transcriptional responses in #fibroblasts? In our (The Snedeker Lab) latest work @AdvSciNews, “we show that elasticity approx. #tendon microscale stiffness (~35 kPa) reinstates tendon-specific transcriptional signature” (1/n) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…
