Scientists have found an essential factor from the extracellular matrix that regulates functionality of the breast tissue for instance during pregnancy.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides the physical and chemical conditions that enable the development of all biological tissues. It is a complex nano-to-microscale structure made up of protein ...

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 ...

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

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

“In the naive skin, these matrix-producing neutrophils contribute to the composition and structure of the extracellular matrix, reinforce its mechanical properties, and promote barrier function ...

This distinctive structure enables MFG-E8 to function as a molecular bridge, mediating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, promoting cell adhesion, remodelling the extracellular matrix (ECM ...

The extracellular matrix was chosen for tissue reconstruction as it contains a biomolecules responsible for tissue composition and development.

Together, this extracellular matrix and collagen form the structural framework of tissues in animals and plays an important role in tissue repair. Fibroblasts are the main connective tissue cells ...

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 ...
