 | | The extracellular matrix is the medium through which mechanotransduction takes place, which is vital to the health of cartilage, bone and muscle. | | | Objectives and Scope This PA is intended to encourage basic research into aging effects on extracellular matrix and how those changes in extracellular matrix composition and organization contribute to the altered function seen with aging in the musculoskeletal system and skin. | | | Research is needed on interdependent aging changes in bone, skin, muscle, and cartilage, and the role of extracellular matrix in these changes. |

| | What’s worse is that these conditions have to do with the state of the neuron and therefore may occlude from view the function of the neuron in particular states. | | | This is important if the conductivity of the tissue isn’t constant throughout because it can lead to sham sources and sinks at the interface between layers (Petsche et al., 1984). | | | While the precise source of these fluctuations isn’t fully understood, it’s clear that this non-synaptic activity can greatly affect the recorded field potential (Buzsaki and Traub, 1997). |

| | Extracellular Calcium |
| | As opposed to the traditional view that extracellular calcium exists at a stable concentration, we explore the hypothesis that calcium concentrations may change. | | | One extracellular species, calcium, holds a prominent position as one of the most important messengers known in the brain. | | | Instead, it seems as though the tissue is engineered so that external calcium levels are meant to fluctuate dramatically; given the functional importance of external calcium, we are led to the strong suspicion that external calcium fluctuations are an important class of information-bearing signal in the nervous system. |
