Combined extracellular matrix cross-linking activity of the peroxidase MLT-7 and the dual oxidase BLI-3 is critical for post-embryonic viability in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 2009
The nematode cuticle is a protective collagenous extracellular matrix that is modified, cross-linked, and processed by a number of key enzymes. This Ecdysozoan-specific structure is synthesized repeatedly and allows growth and development in a linked ...

Evolution of Corneal Collagen Cross-linking

Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Corneal Collagen crosslinking (CXL) has brought a breakthrough in the field of ophthalmology. CXL strengthens the corneal tissue by utilizing riboflavin (Vitamin B2) which acts as a photosensitizer. CXL has been evolving over many years.

Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking in the Stabilization of Keratoconus.

Deutsches Ärzteblatt International, 2019
BACKGROUND Keratoconus is a slowly progressive ectatic deformity of the cornea with a prevalence of 200 to 400 cases per 100 000 persons. The cornea is thinner than normal and irregularly warped; irregular astigmatism and myopia result.

α5β1-Integrin promotes tension-dependent mammary epithelial cell invasion by engaging the fibronectin synergy site. [PDF]

, 2017
Tumors are fibrotic and characterized by abundant, remodeled, and cross-linked collagen that stiffens the extracellular matrix stroma. The stiffened collagenous stroma fosters malignant transformation of the tissue by increasing tumor cell tension to ...
