One of the most important elements in the generation of mechanical signals is the extracellular matrix (ECM), a network of proteins that acts like a glue that holds cells together, thus helping to ...

A recent study by a team of researchers at Vanderbilt University found that response to radiation therapy for triple negative ...

Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an equally vital scaffold, the extracellular matrix (ECM ...

such as when cells interact with the surrounding extracellular matrix or with their immediate neighbors. This type of signaling is especially important to the structure and function of tissues.

CSPGs are major inhibitory regulators of plasticity and regeneration in the CNS extracellular matrix but our recent experiments have shown that their role can be reversed from inhibition to activation ...

Cells, the fundamental building block of living organisms, rely on an extracellular matrix to provide structure and protect them from environmental forces and are essential for connective tissues such ...
