The lung extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex and dynamic mixture of fibrous proteins
(collagen, elastin), glycoproteins (fibronectin, laminin), glycosaminoglycans (heparin …

The lung's unique extracellular matrix (ECM), while providing structural support for cells, is
critical in the regulation of developmental organogenesis, homeostasis and injury-repair …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is not just a three-dimensional scaffold that provides stable
support for all cells in the lungs, but also an important component of chronic fibrotic airway …

Multicellular organisms synthesize and renew components of their subcellular and
scaffolding proteins, collectively known as the extracellular matrix molecules (ECMs). In the …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the scaffold that provides structure and support to all
organs, including the lung; however, it is also much more than this. The ECM provides …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) constitutes the main acellular microenvironment of cells in
almost all tissues and organs. The ECM not only provides mechanical support, but also …

Changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) components in the lungs are associated with the
progression of respiratory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a tissue-specific macromolecular structure that provides
physical support to tissues and is essential for normal organ function. In the lung, ECM plays …

Abstract Purpose of Review Lung fibrosis is currently thought to stem from an aberrant
wound healing response after recurring (micro) injuries in the lung epithelium, together with …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is dynamically tuned to optimize physiological function. Its
major properties, including composition and mechanics, profoundly influence cell biology …
