#Collagen constitutes about 12% in females and 17% in males of the #total #protein in mice! #rewriteTextBooks. See matreotype or ECM composition of entire mice. #matrisome https://t.co/hL6ctFNfMn

[Collin Ewald @CollinEwald]

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%. https://t.co/0MvBZiOjiA

New publication by @PaulHiebert_ and colleagues @skintegrityCH identifies a novel role for the antioxidant transcription factor #NRF2 in regulating the #ECM. Great insight into the potential impact on #skin #aging!

Great insights from #mechanical #tension to #calcium signaling via #piezo with #clinical implications for #aged and #injured #tendons by ⁦@SnedekerLab⁩ ⁦@ETH_en⁩ ⁦@SwissMatrixBio⁩ #mbe2022

[Joan Chang @tranejoan]

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

[Collin Ewald @CollinEwald]

Full house to see @Vogel_Lab talk at the #MBE2022. #fibronectin under tension. #tumor #ECM @ETH_en @SwissMatrixBio

[Collin Ewald @CollinEwald]

Forceful talk by ⁦@Amro_Hussien⁩ ⁦@SnedekerLab⁩ ⁦@ETH_en⁩ representing the ⁦@SwissMatrixBio⁩ for the #Heinegard award at the #MBE2022

[Collin Ewald @CollinEwald]

Congrats to Paul Hiebert ⁦@WernerLabETH⁩ ⁦@ETH_en⁩ ⁦@SwissMatrixBio⁩ winning the Rupert Timpl award 2020 and was finally able to present at #mbe2022. #nrf2 #ecm #matrisome #aging #senescence

🧵 1/2 #chronicdisease often leads to #fibrosis. The @StockmannLab @UZH_en 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!

In #Alzheimer's patient's brains, the #amyloid plagues are found within #collagens (#ECM). To study the interaction of ECM and amyloid beta, @JongsmaE built a novel in-vivo system to study amyloid beta aggregation and removal in the ECM. https://t.co/UHQOEUgUH2
