Extracellular Matrix Structure and Creation Extracellular Matrix Components Lesson Summary Frequently Asked Questions What are the main types of the extracellular matrix? There are two main types of extracellular matrix. They are the fibrous proteins, which include collagen, elastin, laminin, and fibrone...

Interaction between extracellular matrix components and bacterial products controls tissue homeostasis; its dysregulation might prepare protumorigenic environmental niches, which could also favour disease relapse Bladder colonization with specific bacterial genera throughout an individual's lifetime might influence ...
and prevent delamination, which therefore improves the continuity of material behavior of the whole leaflet. Table 1 summarizes the key ECM components in the layers and their ma‐ jor functions.

The effects of individual matrix components in the presence and absence of 1 nM DHT on the static and dynamic morphology, growth rate, and PSA production of the LNCaP cell line were studied. We determined that the ECM and DHT interact in complex ways to effect cell structure and function. ...
The involvement of extracellular matrix, and in particular basement membrane molecules in heterotypic cell interactions leading to epithelial cell differentiation, has been highlighted by the use of experimental models such as cocultures, hybrid intestines and antisense approaches. These models allowed us ...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is one of the major components of tumors that plays multiple crucial roles, including mechanical support, modulation of the microenvironment, and a source of signaling molecules. The quantity and cross-linking status of ECM
there are receptors and regulators present in extracellular matrix, such as integrin [39] and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) [40,41]. Different components of ECM have different distribution and different functions, but all of them are important for maintaining the physiological activities of skeletal ...
In 1984, Martin and colleagues coined the term “matrisome” in the context of basement membranes to define “supramolecular complexes of matrix components which are the functional units of the forming extracellular matrix” [15]. In 2012, we proposed to extend the definition of this term to inc...
