A combinatorial extracellular matrix platform identifies cell-extracellular matrix interactions that correlate with metastasis
Extracellular matrix interactions have essential roles in normal physiology and many pathological processes. Although the importance of extracellular matrix interactions in metastasis is well documented, systematic approaches to identify their roles in distinct stages of tumorigenesis have not been described. Here we report a novel-screening platform capable of measuring phenotypic responses to...
متن کاملEVIDENCE THAT CELL-EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX INTERACTIONS REGULATE DEVELOPMENT AND DIFFERENTIATION Developmental mutations Evidence for the importance of cell-matrix interactions
Differentiation is a continuously regulated process and interactions between the cell and its environment play a major role in maintaining stable expression of differentiation-specific genes (Blau and Baltimore, 1991). An important component of the cellular environment is the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is composed of glycoproteins, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans that are secreted a...
متن کاملCell Migration through Extracellular Matrix
Every so often, a paper comes along that brings clarity to an issue. Clarity is not necessarily a final resolution, but rather a conceptual framework for productively addressing that issue. Such a paper could be based on a breakthrough discovery, an intriguing observation, a flash of intuition , or a systematic analysis. An excellent example of the latter is in this issue of The Journal of Cell...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix
The tissues of a multicellular organism contain two main components, the cells themselves, onwhichmost biological research has traditionally focused, and the material that lies between the cells. This material is called the extracellular matrix, usually abbreviated to ‘ECM’. The ratio of tissue volume occupied by ECM to that occupied by cells varies from less than 1:10 (e.g. in muscles) to more...
متن کاملInteractions of Cartilage Extracellular Matrix Macromolecules.
Articular cartilage is a low-friction, load-bearing tissue located at joint surfaces. The extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage consists of a fibrous collagen network, which is pre-stressed by the osmotic swelling pressure exerted by negatively charged proteoglycan aggregates embedded in the collagen network. The major proteoglycan is the bottlebrush shaped aggrecan, which forms complexes wit...
