Aim and content Learning objectives This course is aimed at PhD students working in all fields of research where the extracellular matrix plays a role A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: a. Gain insight into the basics of matrix biology and relate this to his/her own field of research b. Understand analytical methods used in matrix biology and critically appraise published articles in this field of research c. Understand what methods are suitable for testing different study hypotheses. Content The role of the extracellular matrix in physiological, pathophysiological and pathological situations will be the main focus, and specifically the cell-matrix interaction, the formation of collagen and other matrix tissue, and the coupling between matrix structure and function in health and disease will be taught. The newest matrix research will be reported from areas like the musculo-skeletal system (bone, cartilage, tendon, muscle), skin, vasculature, and cancer. All participants will have the opportunity to present and discuss their PhD projects, and we will discuss and evaluate relevant articles from the field of matrix biology research.
