Collagen is a structural protein expressed in mammalian tissues (ex. skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilages, blood vessels...).  Together with Elastin and Keratin, Collagen fibres give connective

Measuring soluble collagen in biological samples is a straightforward experiment which can be done with the Sircol soluble collagen assay using Sirius Red dye (Sircol dye) in a convenient manner (we explored

Extracellular vesicles in general, or exosomes in particular, are becoming a hot topic for research, especially in cancer. They seem to have different roles in tumour progression or can be used as

Glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides) are long un-branched polysaccherides which consist of disaccharide repeats. The repeats usually (with the exception of Keratan sulfate) consist of on amino sugar

Recently I reported about methods to measure:

• Collagen - Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays
• Glycosaminoglycans - How to measure Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans?

Today, I invite you to

Matrix components are key R&D elements in pharmaceutical and cosmetology with tremendous impacts on tissue regeneration, skin repair, wound healing, allergy

Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan) belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but unlike other GAGs like Heparan sulfate, Chondroitin sulfate or Keratan sulfate, it cannot be

The monitoring of ECM components during experimental approaches requires robust and user-friendly in vitro assays. In the past experimental methods (e.g. soluble collagen measurement) were laborious

In living organisms, ExtraCellular Matrix (ECM) builds up a complex and dynamic network of molecules, playing a major role in structural support,
