DFG Research Unit FOR2722 Novel molecular determinants for musculoskeletal extracellular matrix homeostasis - a systemic approach

Musculoskeletal disorders, causing chronic pain and reduced mobility, often result from "Musculoskeletal disorders, causing chronic pain and reduced mobility, often result from extracellular matrix (ECM) alterations during childhood or aging. The research unit FOR2722, led by principal investigators in ECM biology, collaborates to understand how ECM imbalances trigger these diseases. Emphasizing scientific importance, our selected projects facilitate synergies across disciplines. PIs from Cologne, Münster, and Frankfurt unite to establish an internationally competitive network, aiming to identify novel ECM functions and develop innovative strategies for targeting musculoskeletal diseases
