Tenascins, a growing family of extracellular matrix proteins
Experientia, 1995The tenascins are a family of large multimeric extracellular matrix proteins consisting of repeated structural modules including heptad repeats, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats, fibronectin type III repeats, and a globular domain shared with the fibrinogens.

Modulation of the immune response by extracellular matrix proteins
Archivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis, 2006Inflammation entrains a focused and coordinated response from many different elements. Soluble factors such as chemokines and cytokines direct the recruitment, differentiation, and fate of leukocytes. Cells and pathogens are killed and consumed, yet where the response is effective, inflammation will melt away, leaving a healthy functioning tissue.

The molecular elasticity of the extracellular matrix protein tenascin
Nature, 1998Extracellular matrix proteins are thought to provide a rigid mechanical anchor that supports and guides migrating and rolling cells. Here we examine the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix protein tenascin by using atomic-force-microscopy techniques. Our results indicate that tenascin is an elastic protein.

Proteins of the Conifer Extracellular Matrix
2000Cell walls have many critical roles in plant physiology and development including the control of cell shape, plant morphogenesis, mechanical strength, and water transport. In addition to the structural roles, recent research suggests that the plant cell surface, including the cell wall, plasma membrane, and middle lamella, plays important roles in many

Extracellular matrix proteins in the regulation of thrombus formation
Current Opinion in Hematology, 2016Exposure of subendothelial extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins to the circulation is the key event that initiates platelet accumulation and clot formation after vessel injury. Soluble ECM proteins are also essential for support and regulation of these events.

Common structural motifs in proteins of the extracellular matrix
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1991Proteins of the extracellular matrix are composed of many structurally and often functionally different autonomous domains which frequently occur as modular units in several different extracellular matrix proteins, but also in proteins of different origin.

Extracellular matrix proteins in glomerulonephritis
2000The aim of this study was to elucidate the distribution of extracellular matrix(ECM)proteins in glomeruli and renal interstitium in various forms of glomerulonephritis(GN).Interstitial fibrosis is the best sole prognostic factor for all histological forms of GN, except for rapidoprogressive GN.There is a statistically significant positive correlation ...

Nonlinear optical imaging of extracellular matrix proteins
2018Over the last 2 decades, nonlinear imaging methods such as multiharmonic imaging microscopy (MHIM) have become powerful approaches for the label-free visualization of biological structures. Multiharmonic signals are generated when an intense electromagnetic field propagates through a sample that either has a specific molecular orientation or exhibits ...

Interaction of Mast Cells with Extracellular Matrix Proteins
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2009It is possible to divide surface receptors on mast cells conceptually into three groups. The first consists of immune response receptors. The index receptor for this group is FcεRI, now joined by Fcγ receptors and receptors for complement products. The second group of receptors are those that are involved in growth and differentiation, such as those ...
