Joint hypermobility is often caused by inherited differences in connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons, which are ...

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides structural and biochemical support to cells, with a complex network of proteins such as fibrillins, elastins, fibulins and microfibril‐associated glycoproteins.

Tulane University researchers have discovered a possible genetic cause for hypermobility (commonly known as double-jointedness) and a range of associated connective tissue disorders such as ...
