Abstract
- The various connective tissues of the body have different functions, which result from their specific structure and composition. The identification of this structure-function relationship is of great importance for various disciplines such as medicine, biology or tissue engineering. Connective tissue consists mainly of an extracellular matrix (ECM) and a limited number of cells. It is extremely adaptable because the activity of the cells remodels the composition and structure of the ECM in order to adapt the mechanical properties (functions) to the new demands (e.g. an increased mechanical stimulus).<br /> (© 2024.
