Towards definition of an ECM parts list: An advance on GO categories [PDF]
Those of us interested in the extracellular matrix (ECM) are faced with significant challenges of definition. ECM proteins are large, complex and assembled into crosslinked insoluble matrices.

During development, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) exert important functions in several tissues by regulating signaling for cell differentiation and migration. In vivo the extracellular matrix (ECM) not only provides a support for adherent cells, but

The emerging roles of ribosome biogenesis in craniofacial development. [PDF]
Neural crest cells (NCCs) are a transient, migratory cell population, which originates during neurulation at the neural folds and contributes to the majority of tissues, including the mesenchymal structures of the craniofacial skeleton.

Interaction between extracellular matrix molecules and microbial pathogens: evidence for the missing link in autoimmunity with rheumatoid arthritis as a disease model. [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation followed by tissue rebuilding or fibrosis. A failure by the body to regulate inflammation effectively is one of the hallmarks of RA.

CD9 controls integrin α5β1-mediated cell adhesion by modulating its association with the metalloproteinase ADAM17 [PDF]
Integrin α5β1 is a crucial adhesion molecule that mediates the adherence of many cell types to the extracellular matrix through recognition of its classic ligand fibronectin as well as to other cells through binding to an alternative counter-receptor ...
