New research from Professor Guillermo Ameer’s team shows how a shape change of a cell’s nucleus can trigger regenerative signals and improve implant performance.

At first blush, the brain’s extracellular matrix (ECM) seems like the opposite of synaptic plasticity. Plasticity is the ...

This article describes the composition of the extracellular matrix and its essential roles in cell-cell adhesion, cell signaling and tissue repair.

The extracellular matrix guides cell behavior, ordering changes that in turn cause cells to secrete different molecules and changing the qualities of the matrix.

We show here that extracellular matrix proteins interact with soluble CD95L and potentiate its pro-apoptotic activity.

Scientists have developed a synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) that can support the growth of a mini endometrium in a dish for at least two weeks. The endometrium -- the mucosal lining of the ...
