Extracellular Matrix
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Extracellular Matrix'A meshwork-like substance found within the extracellular space and in association with the basement membrane of the cell surface. It promotes cellular proliferation and provides a supporting structure to which cells or cell lysates in culture dishes adhere.

Matrix association of latent TGF-beta binding protein-2 (LTBP-2) is dependent on fibrillin-1.
29 Nov 2009 
The components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and their differential expression patterns play important roles in tissue formation. The deposition of latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBPs) to the ECM exhibit distinct distribution profiles. We ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 Several studies have shown the benefits of transplanting bone marrow-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) into neurodegenerative lesions of the central nervous system, despite a low engraftment rate and the poor persistence of grafts. ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Mechanical strain may affect aortic valve cusp, leading to an altered extracellular matrix ultrastructure and eventually aortic stenosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the affect of these potential relationships on human tissue. ... Read more...
