The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides structural scaffolding and mediates signaling in the extracellular space. The protein component is resistant to chaotrope extraction, making proteomic characterization challenging. We have developed optimized protocols for extraction of ECM that have been refined using samples from many systems, allowing for molecular-scale assessment of ECM proteome composition and architecture. We […]

Callie Higgins NIST Abstract: Vat photopolymerization is a powerful additive manufacturing technique that address many applications ranging from personalized medicine to large-scale manufacturing. Unfortunately, these printing processes introduce micrometer-scale anisotropic inhomogeneities due to the resin absorptivity, diffusivity, reaction kinetics, and swelling during the requisite photoexposure. Previously, it has not been possible to characterize high-resolution mechanical […]
