The authors show that a middle carotid artery occlusion (MCAO) hypoxia lesion leads to hyaluronan-mediated chemoattraction to the lesion penumbra of Thbs-4-expressing astrocytes of the subventricular ...

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 ...

Several lines of evidence have shown that Trypanosoma cruzi interacts with host extracellular matrix (ECM) components producing breakdown products that play an important role in parasite mobilization ...

The brain extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates myelin repair and regeneration following a demyelinating event by interacting with neuronal progenitors and immune cells. Therefore, generation and ...

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: Mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) and survival trends. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a full ...

Cells can sense when the extracellular matrix has been exposed to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), even if the exposure is slight and does not alter matrix stiffness. We show that cells sense ...

Abstract: Understanding cell-cell communication in cancer is important because cancer cells communicate to facilitate collective migration, such as during cancer progression and metastasis. We ...
