Connective Tissue Research

The aim of Connective Tissue Research is to present original and significant research in all basic areas of connective tissue and matrix biology. The journal also provides topical reviews and, on occasion, the proceedings of conferences in areas of special interest at which original work is presented. The journal supports an interdisciplinary approach; we present a variety of perspectives from different disciplines, including Biochemistry Cell and Molecular Biology Immunology Structural Biology Biophysics Biomechanics Regenerative Medicine The interests of the Editorial Board are to understand, mechanistically, the structure-function relationships in connective tissue extracellular matrix, and its associated cells, through interpretation of sophisticated experimentation using state-of-the-art technologies that include molecular genetics, imaging, immunology, biomechanics and tissue engineering.
