The extracellular matrix (ECM) contains a diverse amount of molecules. Proteoglycans, fibrous proteins, and vesicles containing microRNA are joined by cells such as fibroblasts and macrophages. These molecules and cells provide a structural organization and have many important functions for cell development, replication, and migration. The structures of the ECM connect all cells with other cells ultimately, and the specific geometry of this vast area of the body is very specific in its purposes.

摘要

The extracellular matrix (ECM) contains a diverse amount of molecules. Proteoglycans, fibrous proteins, and vesicles containing microRNA are joined by cells such as fibroblasts and macrophages. These molecules and cells provide a structural organization and have many important functions for cell development, replication, and migration. The structures of the ECM connect all cells with other cells ultimately, and the specific geometry of this vast area of the body is very specific in its purposes.
