Multiphase modelling of tumour growth and extracellular matrix interaction: mathematical tools and applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Resorting to a multiphase modelling framework, tumours are described here as a mixture of tumour and host cells within a porous structure constituted by a remodelling extracellular matrix (ECM), which is wet by a physiological extracellular fluid.

Matrix metalloproteinases at key junctions in the pathomechanism of stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role in the remodelling of the extracellular matrix through direct degradation of its structural proteins and control of extracellular signaling.

MCAM contributes to the establishment of cell autonomous polarity in myogenic and chondrogenic differentiation

open access: yesBiology Open, 2017
Cell polarity has a fundamental role in shaping the morphology of cells and growing tissues. Polarity is commonly thought to be established in response to extracellular signals.

Cell surface localization of tissue transglutaminase is dependent on a fibronectin-binding site in its N-terminal beta-sandwich domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Increasing evidence indicates that tissue transglutaminase (tTG) plays a role in the assembly and remodeling of extracellular matrices and promotes cell adhesion.

Extracellular Matrix (ECM) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The region of space at the periphery of cyanobacterial cells is the interface between the environment and intracellular processes. This metaspace may include a structure appressed to the outer wall and membrane, such as an extracellular polysaccharide (EPS), a structural and/or physiological discontinuity in the control of flow metabolites, as well as ...

Tensin links energy metabolism to extracellular matrix assembly. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The regulation of integrin function is key to fundamental cellular processes, including cell migration and extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly. In this issue, Georgiadou et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol.

Modeling cell movement in anisotropic and heterogeneous network tissues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Cell motion and interaction with the extracellular matrix is studied deriving a kinetic model and considering its diffusive limit. The model takes into account of chemotactic and haptotactic effects, and obtains friction as a result of the interactions ...

Dissecting the phenotypic variability of osteogenesis imperfecta

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2022
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous family of collagen type I-related diseases characterized by bone fragility. OI is most commonly caused by single-nucleotide substitutions that replace glycine residues or exon splicing defects in the COL1A1
