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

Proteoglycans are ubiquitous molecules that function as critical components of the extracellular matrix. These proteins are composed of glycosaminoglycan chains that are covalently attached to a ...

The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant option.

Science has advanced one step closer towards figuring out how certain cancer cells work. Researchers at ETH Zurich demonstrated that skin cancer cells can transfer their mitochondria, the cell ...

Fibronectin triggers secretion of extracellular vesicles carrying collagen VI that regulate smooth muscle cell adhesion and migration during vascular repair and atherogenesis.

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...

Keloids are raised, overgrown scars that can develop after skin injuries or surgery, often extending beyond the original wound boundaries. For many people, keloids are more than just a cosmetic ...

Recently, a research team from Chongqing Medical University, led by Prof. Wei Huang, Dr. Wei Bao, and Dr. Yiting Lei, has successfully developed a novel engineered extracellular matrix (eECM) to ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed lung tissue model that could help scientists better study and treat diseases.
