Stiffness of the Extracellular Matrix May Drive Some Age-Related Changes in Gene Expression
Properties of the extracellular matrix that supports cells change with age. Increased stiffness is common in many tissues as a result of chemical cross-linking and other changes. Researchers here report on a proof of concept in vitro study in which increased stiffness of the local matrix is shown to
