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

Using a specialized lab technique, scientists identified early cellular changes that may help drive lung scarring in ...

Proteoglycans are ubiquitous molecules that function as critical components of the extracellular matrix.

Collagens and elastin in the extracellular matrix, which forms a scaffold to support organs, cause the immune system's natural killer cells to switch off their 'killer' function. The hypertension ...

The research team optimized the extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) by preconditioning them with inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, to ...

Biofilms of the fungus Candida albicans produce extracellular matrix that confers such properties as adherence and drug resistance. Our prior studies indicate that the matrix is complex, with major ...

Secretion into the extracellular milieu during many pathological conditions suggests additional or novel functions of sHsps in addition to their intracellular properties. Extracellular sHsps are ...
