Role of Proa(2)I collagen chains and collagen crosslinking in thoracic aortic biochemical integrity during aging using the OIM mouse model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important constituent for a variety of tissues including vascular tissue in which the ECM maintains aortic wall integrity. An important component of vascular tissue ECM is type I collagen. ...
The use of FD-filamentous bacteriophage for the in vivo imaging of cancer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Improved diagnosis of cancer through targeted imaging of neoplasms is needed for early detection and treatment of cancer. We propose that the physical characteristics of filamentous bacteriophage (phage) are well suited ...
Glomerular deposition of homotrimeric type I collagen in the COL1A2 deficient mouse
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body. Type I collagen generally exists as a heterotrimeric protein; however, a homotrimeric isotype of type I collagen has been identified. Our lab currently ...
