The extracellular matrix protein fibronectin forms fibrils when in association with cells that exert tension. Cells apply enough force to stretch fibrils in vivo. Stretching of individual ...

The orderly arrangement of cells in tissues depends on complex signaling between cells. Learn how cellular junctions play important roles in cell adhesion and communication.

In addition to HSPG binding, HB-GAM has similar carbohydrate binding sites in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs). CSPGs are major inhibitory regulators of plasticity and regeneration in the CNS ...

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