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 ...

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 ...

Collagens and elastin in the extracellular matrix, which forms a scaffold to support organs, cause the immune system's natural killer cells to switch off their 'killer' function. The hypertension drug ...

Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an equally vital scaffold, the extracellular matrix (ECM). An interlinked net of proteins and sugars that surrounds brain cells, the ...

For in vitro cellular assays, the extracellular matrix—the material between cells—often is overlooked, but changes within this microenvironment affect cells’ proliferation and differentiation and, ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia are heterogeneous diseases that are difficult to fully model in mice. One of the more common forms is caused by hexanucleotide repeat ...
