A team of researchers from the University of Aberdeen has uncovered, for the first time, how genes linked to autism and ...

The extracellular matrix, a complex 3D structure made of proteins and sugars, is essential for healing wounds and homeostasis ...

By analyzing over 213,000 developing human brain cells, researchers show that many autism risk genes act through the ECM.

Within tissues, cells are embedded in complex, three-dimensional structures known as the extracellular matrix. Their biomechanical interactions play a crucial role in numerous biological processes.

In cell and animal models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the expression of toxic dipeptides in neurons led to changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) as a protective response. The authors ...

In the rapidly evolving field of tissue engineering, the development of functional biomaterials and seed cells holds transformative potential for repairing severe tissue defects. These biomaterials, ...
