Scientists have developed a synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) that can support the growth of a mini endometrium in a dish for at least two weeks. The endometrium -- the mucosal lining of the uterus ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the complex network of proteins and sugars that provides structural and biochemical support for surrounding cells in the human body. This dynamic ...

A groundbreaking study led by Children's Hospital Los Angeles has found a novel mechanism behind neuroblastoma progression: the shape and structure of the extracellular matrix. The study, led by ...

New research has uncovered a complex interplay between extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and the transcriptional responses of cancer cells, showing how they alter their gene expression to ‘escape’ ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia are heterogeneous diseases that are difficult to fully model in mice. One of the more common forms is caused by hexanucleotide repeat ...

Cancer cells growing in three-dimensional (3D) space encounter unique cell-to-cell interactions, mechanical constraints, and variable access to nutrients, oxygen, and other soluble factors that can ...

A new study from the University of Haifa suggests that disorders as different as Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, and autism may ...
