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.

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 ...

The field of dystroglycan (DG) research has garnered significant attention due to its critical role as a non-integrin adhesion complex that bridges the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton. DG's ...

Keloids are raised, overgrown scars that can develop after skin injuries or surgery, often extending beyond the original ...

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 ...

Our skin protects us from everyday mechanical stresses, like friction, cuts, and impacts. A key part of this ...

Biofilms of the fungus Candida albicans produce extracellular matrix that confers such properties as adherence and drug resistance. Our prior studies indicate that the matrix is complex, with major ...
