The basement membrane protein nidogen-1 supports platelet adhesion and activation

Platelets, 2021
The core structure of the extracellular basement membrane is made up of self-assembling networks of collagen and laminin which associate with each other through the bridging adapter proteins including the sulfated monomeric glycoprotein nidogen.

Congenital Disorders of Deficiency in Glycosaminoglycan Biosynthesis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) including chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and heparan sulfate are covalently attached to specific core proteins to form proteoglycans, which are distributed at the cell surface as well as in the extracellular matrix ...

Shotgun Proteomics and Network Analysis between Plasma Membrane and Extracellular Matrix Proteins from Rat Olfactory Ensheathing Cells

Cell Transplantation, 2010
Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are a special type of glial cells that have characteristics of both astrocytes and Schwann cells. Evidence suggests that the regenerative capacity of OECs is induced by soluble, secreted factors that influence their ...

Thrombospondin-4, an extracellular matrix protein expressed in the developing and adult nervous system promotes neurite outgrowth [PDF]

, 1995
Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules are involved in multiple aspects of cell-to-cell signaling during development and in the adult. In nervous system development, specific recognition processes, e.g., during axonal pathfinding and synaptogenesis involve

How bacteria hack the matrix and dodge the bullets of immunity

European Respiratory Review, 2018
Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are common Gram-negative pathogens associated with an array of pulmonary diseases. All three species have multiple adhesins in their outer membrane, i.e.
