Extracellular Matrix Remodeling and Tissue Repair in Musculoskeletal Health
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is often described as structural scaffolding, but in musculoskeletal biology, it functions as far more than passive support. The ECM plays a central role in tissue signaling, mechanical load distribution, and coordinated repair. When injury or chronic stress occurs, the extracellular matrix undergoes a dynamic remodeling process. This remodeling determines whether […]
