Porcine urinary bladder matrix in an in vitro equine model of tenogenesis
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is responsible for tendon strength and elasticity. Healed tendon ECM lacks structural integrity, leading to reinjury. Porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM) provides a scaffold and source of bioactive proteins to improve tissue healing, but has received limited attention …

Systems Biology Approaches for Elucidating Early ALS Disease Processes
… disrupted pathways enriched for extracellular matrix organization and protein transport. Integrating these findings with results from a C9orf72 Drosophila model, I found causal and compensatory pathways that may be active in C9-ALS. Next, I investigated the genetics of ALS using genomic, …
