By growing cells in a 3-D gel that includes extracellular matrix, researchers coaxed samples of breast cells from lactating mice to produce milk. This showed that cell function depended on having ...

T he numerous cells that make up mammalian tissues are surrounded by an intricate network of proteins known as the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, these proteins provide cells with a structural ...

Extracellular cell matrix (ECM) plays a significant role in remodeling and stiffening during breast cancer progression. The rigid ECM impedes chemotherapeutic agent penetration into tumor cells.

Cell sheet preparation for use in tissue engineering and regenerative therapies could be significantly improved with the use ...

Our group has explored the regeneration of soft biological tissues through cell-extracellular matrix interactions, with a focus on collagen-rich environments and fibrosis. We have developed a new ...
