Structure and biological activity of the extracellular matrix

Abstract

The extracellular matrix is formed by complex and intricate networks within which molecules are precisely organized. These molecular networks determine the specific histoarchitecture of tissues and provide cells with information and a scaffold. Most of the structural extracellular matrix molecules - collagens, noncollagenous glycoproteins, and proteoglycans - are chimeric and share common domains. Studies of the interactions between extracellular matrix molecules and mapping of the interaction sites to defined structural modules have led to the concept that the function of the extracellular matrix relies largely in the polymers that they form. Furthermore, determination of the tertiary structure of protein motifs involved either in the assembly of the various molecules into polymers or in cell-extracellular matrix interactions has recently opened the field of structural biology of the extracellular matrix.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
