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
The tissues of interest are bone, cartilage, muscle, dentin, skin, teeth, and tendon, as well as the eyes, the vascular system, the kidneys and other connective tissue component-rich organs.
Many processes are appropriate topics for discussion, such as growth, development, aging, tissue remodeling, wound healing, and biomineralization.
This collection of varied but related presentations will inform, stimulate and broaden the outlooks of individual specialists interested in current connective tissue research.
