OBJECTIVE Constrictive remodeling accounts for lumen loss in postangioplasty restenosis. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has been shown to prevent constrictive remodeling in vivo. To investigate potential mechanisms for this observation, we investigated the role of MMP-9 in smooth muscle cell (SMC)-mediated collagen gel contraction, an in vitro model of constrictive remodeling. METHODS Fis...

Injectable decellularized matrix hydrogels derived from either myocardium or small intestinal submucosa (pDMYO-gel, pDSIS-gel) have been successfully used for myocardial injury repair. However, the relationship between tissue-specific biological functions and protein composition in these two materials is not clear yet. In this study, composition, mechanical properties, morphology of their effec...
