Age-Related Alterations of Hyaluronan and Collagen in Extracellular Matrix of the Muscle Spindles

Age-Related Alterations of Hyaluronan and Collagen in Extracellular Matrix of the Muscle Spindles

Background: Muscle spindles (MSs) play a crucial role in proprioception and locomotor coordination. Although the elasticity and viscosity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) within which MSs are embedded may play a key role in MS function, the impact of aging on ECM components is unclear. The aim of t...
