Abstract excerpt
Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) comprise a genetically and clinically heterogenous group of rare diseases that cause severe, often fatal, damage to connective tissue. The molecular basis of EDS implicates defects in extracellular matrix components, including various fibrillar collagens and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). However, the precise pathogenic mechanisms behind EDS remain elusive. Here, we have implemented a...
