Effects of aging on the biomechanical properties of the lung extracellular matrix: dependence on tissular stretch
Introduction: Aging induces functional and structural changes in the lung, characterized by a decline in elasticity and diminished pulmonary remodeling and regenerative capacity. Emerging evidence suggests that most biomechanical alterations in the lung result from changes in the composition of the...
