Within tissues, cells are embedded in complex, three-dimensional structures known as the extracellular matrix. Their biomechanical interactions play a crucial role in numerous biological processes.

As we age, the muscles we rely on for daily activities tend to become less reliable. With enough decline, even normal ...

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 ...

Mice lacking the extracellular matrix protein tenascin-C showed a reduced ability to repair muscular damage compared to controls.
