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 ...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of extracellular, zinc-dependent endopeptidases that have emerged as pivotal regulators of neural plasticity and synaptic function. In the brain, MMPs ...

Scientists at the University of Helsinki have found an essential factor from the extracellular matrix that regulates functionality of the breast tissue for instance during pregnancy. Extracellular ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...

In a recent study, led by corresponding author, Anna-Maria Liphardt, PhD, of the Rheumatology and Immunology Department at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the ...

Scientists are uncovering surprising complexity in connective tissues, from diverse fibroblast subtypes to collagen’s hidden ...

For in vitro cellular assays, the extracellular matrix—the material between cells—often is overlooked, but changes within this microenvironment affect cells’ proliferation and differentiation and, ...

Despite its compact structure—composed of only three amino acids—this endogenous tripeptide has been repeatedly situated at the intersection of regenerative biology, extracellular matrix dynamics, ...

In a recent study published in NPJ Microgravity, scientists explore the impact of spaceflight on human vascular smooth muscle cells at the transcriptomic level. Study: Spaceflight effects on human ...
