Critical Role of Factor XIII in the Initial Stages of Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Adult Liver Remodeling Although it has been hypothesized that the formation factor XIII (FXIII)-mediated fibrin–fibronectin provisional matrix is a critical step for extracellular matrix remodeling, researchers show in an FXIII subunit A–deficient murine model of acute liver injury that the lack of FXIII subunit A did not interfere with collagen reconstruction and resolution after acute liver injury.

Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Repair with a Cardiac Biologic Scaffold In this study, a porcine cardiac-extracellular matrix patch or Dacron patch was used to reconstruct a full-thickness right ventricular outflow tract defect in a rat model with end points of structural remodeling function at 16 weeks.
