EFFECTS OF AGING ON THE BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE LUNG EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX: DEPENDENCE ON TISSULAR STRETCH

Effects of aging on the biomechanical properties of the lung extracellular matrix: dependence on tissular stretch

Introduction: Aging induces functional and structural changes in the lung, characterized by a decline in elasticity and diminished pulmonary remodeling and regenerative capacity.Emerging evidence suggests that most biomechanical alterations in the lung result from changes in the composition of the lung extracellular matrix (ECM), potentially modula
