Fibromodulin and Dystrophin in Atherosclerosis: Novel roles for extracellular matrix in plaque development
… atherosclerotic plaque structure and stability. Fibromodulin is a small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan of the ECM involved in the regulation of collagen fiber synthesis. In the fibrous murine atherosclerotic plaque, we found collagen fibrils synthesized in the absence of fibromodulin to be …

Functions of small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans in connective tissues
… influence its fibril formation. In this manner, fibromodulin - one of the SLRPs - can alter intermolecular cross-linking of collagen, which has long-term implications for the structural integrity of the connective tissue. Since SLRPs can bind to collagen in via different domains, and are …

Modulation of the osteoblastic differentiation of marrow stromal cells for bone tissue engineering
… factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, fibromodulin, and dentin matrix protein was found to display significant peaks in expression level. To further modulate MSC differentiation, the cellular constructs were cultured in the presence of fluid shear stresses. The effects of fluid shear …
