Hypertrophic scarring affects a large proportion of patients following burns, trauma, or surgery and arises from prolonged fibroblast hyperactivity and excessive extracellular matrix accumulation.

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...

Scientists have engineered a lab-on-a-chip system capable of applying precisely controlled mechanical forces to biological materials that mimic the extracellular matrix.

Macrophages are central to mechanobiology research: their physical characteristics-stiffness, adhesion, and ECM (extracellular matrix) sensing-are inextricably linked to their phenotypic polarization ...

Christopher H. Contag explores how tissue regeneration involves organized interactions beyond just cell replacement, highlighting two emerging technologies ...

A new study, led by Prof. Liu from the department of pharmacy, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, discovered that the extracellular cell matrix (ECM) could induce the drug ...
