Alterations in extracellular matrix composition during aging and photoaging of the skin

Maxwell C. McCabe, Ryan C. Hill, Ken Calderone et al. · 17 Jun 2020

Human skin is composed of the cell-rich epidermis, the extracellular matrix (ECM) rich dermis, and the hypodermis. Within the dermis, a dense network of ECM proteins provides structural support to the skin and regulates a wide variety of signaling pathways which govern cell proliferation and other critical processes. Both intrinsic aging, which occurs steadily over…

The in-silico characterization of the Caenorhabditis elegans matrisome and proposal of a novel collagen classification

Alina C. Teuscher, Elisabeth Jongsma, Martin N. Davis et al. · 1 Feb 2019

is a widely used model organism for high throughput genetic and drug screens, and to study biological and pathological processes, the conserved matrisome genes may aid in identifying potential drug targets. In addition, the nematode-specific matrisome may be exploited for targeting parasitic infection of man and crops.

Collagen fibril assembly: New approaches to unanswered questions

Christopher K. Revell, Oliver E. Jensen, Tom Shearer et al. · 13 Jul 2021

Collagen fibrils are essential for metazoan life. They are the largest, most abundant, and most versatile protein polymers in animals, where they occur in the extracellular matrix to form the structural basis of tissues and organs. Collagen fibrils were first observed at the turn of the 20th century. During the last 40 years, the genes…

The role of extracellular matrix in the pathophysiology of diabetic wounds

Yaqing Huang, Themis R. Kyriakides · 22 Apr 2020

Impaired healing leading to the formation of ulcerated wounds is a critical concern in patients with diabetes. Abnormalities in extracellular matrix (ECM) production and remodeling contribute to tissue dysfunction and delayed healing. Specifically, diabetes-induced changes in the expression and/or activity of structural proteins, ECM-modifying enzymes, proteoglycans, and matricellular proteins have been reported. In this review,…

Matrix Biology Plus template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Matrix Biology Plus format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Matrix Biology Plus template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Matrix Biology Plus use?
Matrix Biology Plus uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Matrix Biology Plus 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Matrix Biology Plus?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Matrix Biology Plus document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
