Abstract excerpt
Lysyl oxidase (LOX) plays an important role in the elaboration of tendon mechanical properties during embryonic development by mediating enzymatic collagen crosslinking. We previously showed recombinant LOX (rLOX) treatment of developing tendon significantly increased LOX-mediated collagen crosslink density to enhance tendon mechanical properties at different stages of tissue formation. Working toward the future...
