Matrix Remodeling in Metabolic Health and Disease

Guest Chair Evangelia Bellas, Temple University

More about the topic: Matrix Remodeling in Metabolic Health and Disease' is an area that is not often highlighted in the Matrix Biology Community. Many of the current research areas often focus on matrix remodeling during development or after a trauma such as an infarction or wound healing. Metabolic diseases such as obesity for example, are heavily affected by the extracellular matrix. They involve the support cells, like stromal cells and macrophages, and are sensitive to some of the same pathways involved in wound healing and cancer, such as inflammation and hypoxia, in addition to pathological matrix remodeling.
