This study highlights lumican as a promising biomarker for predicting the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy and ...

The extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) of connective tissues is ... and/or secretion of mutant matrix protein that disrupts the organization of the ECM (Fig. 2). These effects will be discussed ...

This organization depends in part on polarity, or the orientation of particular cells in their place. Of course, external signals from neighboring cells or from the extracellular matrix are also ...

Our group has explored the regeneration of soft biological tissues through cell-extracellular matrix interactions, with a focus on collagen-rich environments and fibrosis. We have developed a new ...

Extracellular DNA, which serves as a scaffold for multicellular organization, was significantly reduced in the colonies of mutant S. davawensis strains lacking virus-like particle production and ...

The focus so far has been to target pathological cells that are difficult to access due to excessive extracellular matrix proteins surrounding it, i.e, its microenvironment. This reduces drug ...

Overuse tendinopathy results in extensive changes to the cells and extracellular matrix, resulting in activated cells ... that this response could be due to compressive load. As load management is a ...
