Fibulins: a versatile family of extracellular matrix proteins
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2003Fibulins are a newly recognized family of extracellular matrix proteins. The five known members of the family share an elongated structure and many calcium-binding sites, owing to the presence of tandem arrays of epidermal growth factor-like domains.

Binding of Enterococci to Extracellular Matrix Proteins
1997Enterococci are a frequent cause of a wide variety of infections in humans. A rational approach to the control of these infections requires an understanding of enterococcal pathogenicity. Adherence of bacteria to host tissues is generally an early step in the establishment of many infections.

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 ...

Adhesion of endothelial cells to extracellular matrix proteins
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1983AbstractHuman and bovine endothelial cells were used in a series of studies examining cell adhesion to extracellular matrix macromolecules. Collagen types I and III, an acetic acid extract of bovine lens capsule basement membrane, laminin, and fibronectin were demonstrated to affect, in varying degrees, cell adhesion, cell growth, and “sprout cell ...

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 ...

Degradation of extracellular matrix proteins by hemorrhagic metalloproteinases
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1989The proteolytic activity of four hemorrhagic metalloproteinases (Ht-a, c, d, and e) isolated from the venom of the Western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox) was investigated using isolated extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. We determined that all of the proteinases are capable of cleaving fibronectin, laminin, type IV collagen, nidogen ...

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.

IGF Binding Proteins and Extracellular Matrix
1999The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) were discovered based on their capacity to stimulate synthesis of proteoglycans in extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage (1). During the early years after their discovery there were multiple articles published showing that they stimulated synthesis of proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, and other ECM components ...

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
