The extracellular matrix supports and gives structure to our cells and tissues: It provides a scaffold for cells to grow in, ...

Scientists have developed Rhobo6, a light microscopy probe that reveals extracellular matrix structures in live tissues, ...

In the end, they developed a culture system called Cultrex along with the kits for collecting and proliferating cells on three-dimensional matrices. “We are trying to integrate the matrix into ...

Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical ...

Of course, external signals from neighboring cells or from the extracellular matrix are also important influences on the arrangement of cells in a tissue. Without cell division, long-term tissue ...

Tweaking the spacing between binding domains on the ECM surrounding cancer cells can boost their killing via ultrasound ...

The research focuses on cells’ “feet,” which are small bundles of molecules that help cells move. Scientists are exploring ...
