Matrisome gene expression is altered during non-allometric heart growth in genetically enlarged Drosophila [PDF]
The cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical to defining the biophysical properties of the heart that adapt to changing stresses with growth or disease.

Inflammation-related citrullination of matrisome proteins in human cancer
IntroductionProtein arginine deiminases (PADs) are intracellular enzymes that may, especially in pathological conditions, also citrullinate extracellular substrates, including matrisome proteins such as structural proteins in extracellular matrix (ECM ...

The Matrisome Genes From Hepatitis B–Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma Unveiled
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection changes the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and enables the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Deciphering Age-Dependent ECM Remodelling in Liver: Proteomic Profiling and Its Implications for Aging and Therapeutic Targets. [PDF]
This study reveals age‐dependent remodelling of the liver extracellular matrix (ECM), identifying Lumican as a key regulator of hepatocyte proliferation and stemness in foetal development. Dynamic ECM shifts influence liver function, offering insights into therapeutic strategies for aging‐related hepatic decline.

Regulation of the E/I-balance by the neural matrisome
In the mammalian cortex a proper excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance is fundamental for cognitive functions. Especially γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-releasing interneurons regulate the activity of excitatory projection neurons which form the second main ...

Extracellular matrix gene expression signatures as cell type and cell state identifiers
Transcriptomic signatures based on cellular mRNA expression profiles can be used to categorize cell types and states. Yet whether different functional groups of genes perform better or worse in this process remains largely unexplored.

Characterizing the extracellular matrix transcriptome of cervical, endometrial, and uterine cancers
Increasingly, the matrisome, a set of proteins that form the core of the extracellular matrix (ECM) or are closely associated with it, has been demonstrated to play a key role in tumor progression.

Tissue, age, sex, and disease patterns of matrisome expression in GTEx transcriptome data
The extracellular matrix (ECM) has historically been explored through proteomic methods. Whether or not global transcriptomics can yield meaningful information on the human matrisome is unknown. Gene expression data from 17,382 samples across 52 tissues,

Induction of fibroblast senescence generates a non-fibrogenic myofibroblast phenotype that differentially impacts on cancer prognosis [PDF]
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) remain a poorly characterized, heterogeneous cell population. Here we characterized two previously described tumor-promoting CAF sub-types, smooth muscle actin (SMA)-positive myofibroblasts and senescent fibroblasts ...
