Fibronectin matrix polymerization regulates smooth muscle cell phenotype through a Rac1 dependent mechanism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Smooth muscle cells are maintained in a differentiated state in the vessel wall, but can be modulated to a synthetic phenotype following injury. Smooth muscle phenotypic modulation is thought to play an important role in the pathology of vascular ...

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.

A novel chemotactic factor derived from the extracellular matrix protein decorin recruits mesenchymal stromal cells in vitro and in vivo.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Soft tissue is composed of cells surrounded by an extracellular matrix that is made up of a diverse array of intricately organized proteins. These distinct components work in concert to maintain homeostasis and respond to tissue damage.
