Mechanotransduction coordinates extracellular matrix protein homeostasis promoting longevity in <i>C. elegans</i>
2022-08-30
Abstract excerpt
Although it is postulated that dysfunctional extracellular matrices (ECM) drive aging and disease, how ECM integrity assures longevity is unknown. Here, using proteomics and in-vivo monitoring of fluorescently tagged ECM proteins, we systematically examined the ECM composition during Caenorhabditis elegans aging revealing three distinct collagen dynamics. We show that age-dependent stiffening of inert collagen w...
