#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 nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

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%. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

🧵 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! doi.org/10.1016/j.stem.2022.…

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. doi.org/10.1101/2022.09.14.5…
