Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cervix is a unique organ able to dramatically change its shape and function by serving as a physical barrier for the growing fetus and then undergoing dramatic dilation allowing for delivery of a term infant. As a ...
Induced Knockdown of Decorin, Alone and in Tandem With Biglycan Knockdown, Directly Increases Aged Murine Patellar Tendon Viscoelastic Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tendon injuries increase with age, yet the age-associated changes in tendon properties remain unexplained. Decorin and biglycan are two matrix proteoglycans that play complex roles in regulating tendon formation, maturation, ...
