Daniel Hoffman, a Kinesiology MS student published an article “Temporal changes in the muscle extracellular matrix due to volumetric muscle loss injury” in Connective Tissue Research. Hoffman is working in the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory, directed by Sarah Greising, PhD.

This work was the primary focus of Mr. Hoffman’s MS thesis, which he defended this past summer. This work evaluated the shift from early wound healing efforts to a fibrotic scar following traumatic muscle injury. Specifically, it quantified the synchronous reduction of collagen III and increase in collagen I during the repair process. Co-authors of the article include Christiana Raymond-Pope, PhD, Jacob Sorensen, PhD, Benjamin Corona, PhD and Greising. Raymond-Pope and Sorensen are both post-doctoral in Greising’s laboratory.
