Extracellular Matrix 3: Evolution of the extracellular matrix in invertebrates
The FASEB Journal, 1993Invertebrates comprise about 95% of animal species, yet most studies of extracellular matrices have centered on vertebrates. Comparative studies of invertebrates will enhance comprehension of evolutionary processes and appreciation of the diversity of extracellular matrices.

Overview of Extracellular Matrix
Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 1998AbstractThe extracellular matrix provides an environment for cells. It is produced, assembled and modified by cells and in turn, it modifies the functions and behavior of the cells it encounters. The molecules that make up the matrix are diverse in both structure and function.

Publisher Summary Extracellular matrix is a dynamic organelle that surrounds the cell. It is a matrix of polysaccharide and protein polymers that prevents cell lysis and allows the development of a hydrostatic pressure within the cell that provides mechanical support for the plant. In general, the plant extracellular matrix is approximately 60 percent

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 1988
Fibronectin remains unique among matrix components because it exists in both soluble and matrix forms. It seems likely that the necessity to prevent inappropriate matrix assembly from soluble fibronectin results in a strict requirement for catalysis by specific cells to deposit fibronectin fibrils.

The extracellular matrix and synapses
Cell and Tissue Research, 2006Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, derived from both neurons and glial cells, are secreted and accumulate in the extracellular space to regulate various aspects of pre- and postsynaptic differentiation, the maturation of synapses, and their plasticity.

Extracellular matrix structure
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2016Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a non-cellular three-dimensional macromolecular network composed of collagens, proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans, elastin, fibronectin, laminins, and several other glycoproteins. Matrix components bind each other as well as cell adhesion receptors forming a complex network into which cells reside in all tissues and organs ...

Publisher Summary The extracellular matrix comprises a large and varied group of structural macromolecules and their regulatory factors. These extracellular matrix molecules are a part of a finely regulated system of development, maintenance, and repair. The interactions of the extracellular matrix are involved in development and organ formation.

[Phylogenesis of the extracellular matrix].
Comptes rendus des seances de la Societe de biologie et de ses filiales, 1993The extracellular matrix constitutes a highly organized intercellular medium. In multicellular animals, it plays important functions for cell cohesion and for the modulation of cell differentiation and behaviour as well. All the investigations conducted in non-vertebrate species have shown that the extracellular matrix is present at the onset of the ...

Regulation of extracellular matrix degradation by cell—extracellular matrix interactions
Cell Differentiation and Development, 1990An appropriate balance of extracellular matrix synthesis and degradation is required for normal morphogenesis and maintenance of tissue architecture. Extracellular matrix molecules and their receptors, as well as proteinases and their inhibitors, are all involved in matrix remodeling.

Extracellular Matrix and Ageing
2018The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides the environment for many cells types within the body and, in addition to the well recognised role as a structural support, influences many important cell process within the body. As a result, age-related changes to the proteins of the ECM have far reaching consequences with the potential to disrupt many different
