1. A composition comprising a decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) lacking thrombospondin-2 (TSP-2-null ECM) and a decellularized wild-type ECM produced by a wildtype cell that expresses TSP-2, wherein the TSP-2-null ECM is produced by a cell comprising a knock-out of the TSP-2 gene, wherein the cell comprising the knock-out of the TSP-2 gene does not express TSP-2, wherein a storage modulus of the composition is increased and decreased compared to the decellularized TSP-2-null ECM and the wildtype decellularized ECM, respectively.
