Cell-Matrix Interactions

ECM Proteins and Cell Signaling

Description

The extracellular matrix, or ECM, is the material that helps hold cells together in a tissue. It also lets cells in that tissue communicate with one another. The ECM contains proteins such as fibronectin, collagen, and laminin. Collagen is the most abundant protein in this space.

Transcript

Le cellule interagiscono con una rete di molecole secrete localmente che circondano la membrana plasmatica, chiamata matrice extracellulare o ECM.

Queste interazioni sono mediate da grandi complessi multimolecolari chiamati complessi di adesione cellula-matrice che sono ampiamente distribuiti o raggruppati in chiazze distinte sulla membra...
