Mechanical forces regulate the interactions of fibronectin and collagen I in extracellular matrix [PDF]

, 2015
Despite the crucial role of extracellular matrix (ECM) in directing cell fate in healthy and diseased tissues--particularly in development, wound healing, tissue regeneration and cancer--the mechanisms that direct the assembly and regulate hierarchical ...

Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]

, 2013
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.

The extracellular matrix: Structure, composition, age-related differences, tools for analysis and applications for tissue engineering

Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2014
The extracellular matrix is a structural support network made up of diverse proteins, sugars and other components. It influences a wide number of cellular processes including migration, wound healing and differentiation, all of which is of particular ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Thymocyte migration: an affair of multiple cellular interactions?

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2003
Cell migration is a crucial event in the general process of thymocyte differentiation. The cellular interactions involved in the control of this migration are beginning to be defined.

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 ...
