Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic 3‐dimensional network of macromolecules that
provides structural support for the cells and tissues. Accumulated knowledge clearly …

Stem cells (SCs) maintain tissue homeostasis and repair wounds. Despite marked variation
in tissue architecture and regenerative demands, SCs often follow similar paradigms in …

Skeletal muscle requires a highly orchestrated coordination between multiple cell types and
their microenvironment to exert its function and to maintain its homeostasis and regenerative …

Laminin, as a key component of the basement membrane extracellular matrix (ECM),
regulates tissue morphogenesis. Here, we show that multiple laminin isoforms …

Accumulating data support the importance of interactions between pre-and postsynaptic
neuronal elements with astroglial processes and extracellular matrix (ECM) for formation …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an interconnected macromolecular scaffold occupying the
space between cells. Amongst other functions, the ECM provides structural support to …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that have attracted considerable attention
in recent years. Owing to their distinct circular structure, circRNAs are stable in cells …

Myostatin (MSTN) is a well-reported negative regulator of muscle growth and a member of
the transforming growth factor (TGF) family. MSTN has important functions in skeletal muscle …

Basement membranes (BMs) are thin sheets of extracellular matrix that outline epithelia,
muscle fibers, blood vessels and peripheral nerves. The current view of BM structure and …

The regulation of stem cells that maintain and regenerate postnatal tissues depends on
extrinsic signals originating from their microenvironment, commonly referred to as the stem …
