Extracellular matrix (ECM) has previously been recognised as an important element for the growth of various epithelial cells, but rather as a scaffold. A new study shows that ECM can also regulate ...

RNA-binding proteins contribute to small RNA loading in plant extracellular vesicles. Nature Plants, 2021; DOI: 10.1038/s41477-021-00863-8; Cite This Page: MLA; APA; Chicago; ...

Campagnola, an expert in imaging the extracellular matrix, will employ a new microscopy technique to create 3-D images of the physical structure of the matrix and the shape and alignment of fibers ...

The study reveals 44 differentially expressed proteins in cleft palate models, shedding light on molecular mechanisms and ...

Tissue structures are determined by both cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion, with the latter describing interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is the ...

“The extracellular matrix is critical for maintaining the structure and function of the skin and other tissues, acting as a barrier to the entry of microorganisms and toxins,” Hidalgo explained.

New research reveals an essential step in scientists' quest to create targeted, more eco-friendly fungicides that protect food crops. Scientists found that plants use extracellular vesicles to launch ...
