collagen circCongratulations to Matt, Justin, and Ray for presentation of their work at the SB3C Conference in National Harbor, MD, on 6/30/2016. The talk reporting their work was entitled “Direction-Dependent Collagen Disruption in Overstretched Cerebral Arteries” and reports further quantification of collagen damage resulting from circumferential overstretch. Findings were based on the use of collagen mimetic (or hybridizing) peptide, discovered by our collaborators, the Michael Yu Lab.
