Extracellular Matrix in Plants and Animals: Hooks and Locks for Viruses

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of animal and plants cells plays important roles in viral diseases. While in animal cells extracellular matrix components can be exploited by viruses for recognition, attachment and entry, the plant cell wall acts as a ...

3D extracellular matrix microenvironment in bioengineered tissue models of primary pediatric and adult brain tumors

Nature Communications, 2019
The brain extracellular matrix (ECM) is altered in brain tumors, but its role in cancer progression and drug sensitivity are difficult to study. Here the authors develop a 3D bioengineered brain tissue model using patient-derived samples and tunable ...

Extracellular Matrix as a Target in Melanoma Therapy: From Hypothesis to Clinical Trials

Cells
Melanoma is a malignant, highly metastatic neoplasm showing increasing morbidity and mortality. Tumor invasion and angiogenesis are based on remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM).
