Overview

Mats Paulsson is affiliated with the University of Cologne in Germany. Their research primarily spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, as well as Medicine, with a focus on Immunology and Allergy, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics, and Rheumatology subfields.

The scientist's recent publications showcase a concentration on extracellular matrix components, collagen biology, and connective tissue disorders. Their work includes titles such as:

  • Role of collagen XII in skin homeostasis and repair, 2020, published in Matrix Biology
  • Collagen type VI is the antigen recognized by the ER-TR7 antibody, 2021, European Journal of Immunology
  • New specific HSP47 functions in collagen subfamily chaperoning, 2020, The FASEB Journal
  • EMILIN1 deficiency causes arterial tortuosity with osteopenia and connects impaired elastogenesis with defective collagen fibrillogenesis, 2022, The American Journal of Human Genetics
  • LTBP1 promotes fibrillin incorporation into the extracellular matrix, 2022, Matrix Biology

Their work has been published frequently in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Matrix Biology, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, iScience, and the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.

Mats Paulsson has collaborated regularly with several coauthors. Frequent collaborators include Raimund Wagener, Alvise Schiavinato, Manuel Koch, Gerhard Sengle, and Anja Niehoff.

Key topics of their research include:

  • Cell Adhesion Molecules Research
  • Connective tissue disorders research
  • Cellular Mechanics and Interactions
  • Protease and Inhibitor Mechanisms
  • Bacillus and Francisella bacterial research
  • Heat shock proteins research
  • Osteoarthritis Treatment and Mechanisms

The scope of their scientific inquiry covers molecular functions such as collagen chaperoning, elastogenesis, and fibrillogenesis within connective tissues, often investigating molecular mechanisms underlying tissue structure and pathology.
