Abstract: The extracellular matrix accumulates biologically active advanced glycation endproducts such as carboxymethyl-lysine (CML). Alikhani et al. recently reported that CML-rich collagen, representing an artifically aged matrix protein, induces apoptosis in vivo and in fibroblasts. This observation may have profound implications for the biology of cell-matrix interactions during aging.
