Hair and nails are made mostly from keratin. Both grow from matrix cells below the skin and grow through different patterns ...

In the end, they developed a culture system called Cultrex along with the kits for collecting and proliferating cells on three-dimensional matrices. “We are trying to integrate the matrix into ...

Cell-cell interactions and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions guide complex cellular decisions in various physiological processes including immune regulation, such as leukocyte trafficking ...

A newly identified cartilage cell generates fat vacuoles and makes the surrounding tissues pliable. This helps keep the ear ...

we created a database called the The Stem Cell Matrix, which is intended to fill a critical knowledge gap in the field of human pluripotent cell biology. By collaborating with a company that has ...

The extracellular matrix protein fibronectin forms fibrils when in association with cells that exert tension. Cells apply enough force to stretch fibrils in vivo. Stretching of individual ...

Among the prime signaling systems that influence cell behavior, the extracellular matrix (ECM) occupies a prominent place. The ECM is an insoluble multiprotein network that completely surrounds cells ...

cell-cell interactions, extracellular matrix proteins, and physical forces—to focus on in class and let that guide the choice of homework readings. This lesson addresses the Next Generation Science ...

We sought to understand how endothelial state determines liver recovery after hepatectomy and engraftment. Design Matrix-embedded endothelial cells (MEECs) with retained healthy phenotype or control ...

The University of Manchester is among eight institutions to receive a share of £73 million in Wellcome funding to establish a Discovery Research Platform for Cell-Matrix Biology. The scheme aims to ...

While fibroblasts are known to shape immune cell compartmentalisation in secondary lymphoid organs, by producing distinct sets of chemokines and remodelling extracellular matrix (ECM) [2], the ...
