Intracellular Hydroxyproline Imprinting Following Resolution of Bleomycin-induced Pulmonary Fibrosis
Dr. Yong-Su Jin's research on Intracellular Hydroxyproline Imprinting explores collagen synthesis and degradation in resolving bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Using CHPs, the study challenges conventional theories, suggesting that fibrosis can self-resolve, contrary to high hydroxyproline levels imply.

Collagen denaturation is initiated upon tissue yield in both positional and energy-storing tendons
A great new article from a collaboration between Dr. Jeff Weiss's lab and our founder, Dr. Michael Yu's lab at the University of Utah. The new Acta Biomaterialia paper explores at what point collagen denaturation occurs in tendons under mechanical strain and how tendon type influences the mechanism of failure. Researchers evaluated functionally distinct...
