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.

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 ...

DeepECMP: Predicting Extracellular Matrix Proteins using Deep Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Introduction: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a networkof proteins and carbohydrates that has a structural and bio-chemical function. The ECM plays an important role in dif-ferentiation, migration and signaling. Several studies havepredicted ECM proteins using machine learning algorithmssuch as Random Forests, K-nearest neighbours and supportvector ...

A secretory kinase complex regulates extracellular protein phosphorylation. [PDF]
, 2015 Although numerous extracellular phosphoproteins have been identified, the protein kinases within the secretory pathway have only recently been discovered, and their regulation is virtually unexplored.

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 ...

Recent Advances and Prospects in the Research of Nascent Adhesions [PDF]
, 2020 Nascent adhesions are submicron transient structures promoting the early adhesion of cells to the extracellular matrix. Nascent adhesions typically consist of several tens of integrins, and serve as platforms for the recruitment and activation of proteins to build mature focal adhesions.

The Role of Cell-Matrix Interactions in Connective Tissue Mechanics [PDF]
, 2021 Living tissue is able to withstand large stresses in everyday life, yet it also actively adapts to dynamic loads. This remarkable mechanical behaviour emerges from the interplay between living cells and their non-living extracellular environment. Here we review recent insights into the biophysical mechanisms involved in the reciprocal interplay between

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.
