About the Author
Morten Karsdal
Since 2002, Morten Karsdal has focused his research on the discovery and development of novel biochemical markers. This has resulted in the development of more than 15 ELISA assays for detecting biomarkers that have been used for research in the fields of fibrosis, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. One of these assays has been 510(k) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA.

biochemistry of collagen, laminins, elastin
very informative

Unique information, very hard to find elsewhere
This book contains unique information, very hard to find elsewhere. Looked for a long time, but alternative most only available in long list of separate publications. Would like to see another one with all other matrix proteins.....
