Background and Objectives: Biological scaffold resources composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) have been shown to make easy the practical remodeling of various tissues in both animal and human studies. The goal of current study was to make sheet form of ECM from sheep’s urinary bladder. Methods: ECM was extracted from Sheep’s urinary bladder according to standard method. Scanning electron ...

introduction: extracellular matrix (ecm) components significantly influence the growth characteristics of cell, development of spontaneous contractile activity, andmorphologic differentiation. the present study evaluates the effect of ecm ongenotypic and physiologic characteristics of cardiomyocytes derived from embryonic stem (es) cells. material and methods: embryoid bodies derived from mouse...

We propose and study computationally a novel non-local multiscale moving boundary mathematical model for tumour oncolytic virus (OV) interactions when we consider the go or grow hypothesis cancer dynamics. This spatio-temporal focuses on two cell phenotypes that can be infected with OV remain uninfected, which either move in response to extracellular-matrix (ECM) den...

Cellulose-based wound dressings are increasingly in demand due to their biocompatibility and extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking properties.

traumatic brain injury (tbi) results from a sudden and external physical impact to the head, and often leads to motor and cognitive impairment. using tissue engineering strategies, we aimed to review aspects of extra cellular matrix (ecm) based scaffold that could be delivered to the injured brain. the ecm is produced intracellularly and secreted to form a dense network of proteins and glycans,...

The extracellular matrix is important in the regulation of many cellular events of early development including migration, shape change, proliferation and gene expression. In the sea urchin embryo, disruption of the extracellular matrix results in selective defects in each of these events during gastrulation. Here we describe a new molecule of the extracellular matrix in Lytechinus variegatus, r...
