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

Integrins, and integrin-mediated adhesions, have long been recognized to provide the main
molecular link attaching cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and to serve as bidirectional …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a key role as both structural scaffold and regulator of
cell signal transduction in tissues. In times of ECM assembly and turnover, cells upregulate …

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are major components of the carcinoma
microenvironment that promote tumor progression. However, the mechanisms by which …

Since the late 1980s, additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as three-dimensional
(3D) printing, has been gradually popularized. However, the microstructures fabricated …

Abstract The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas belongs to one of the most species-rich but
genomically poorly explored phyla, the Mollusca. Here we report the sequencing and …

Rationale: Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic tissue that contributes to organ integrity
and function, and its regulation of cell phenotype is a major aspect of cell biology. However …

Piezo channels transduce mechanical stimuli into electrical and chemical signals to
powerfully influence development, tissue homeostasis, and regeneration. Studies on Piezo1 …

Fibronectin (FN) is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein that plays vital roles
during tissue repair. The plasma form of FN circulates in the blood, and upon tissue injury, is …

Integrins bind extracellular matrix fibrils and associate with intracellular actin filaments
through a variety of cytoskeletal linker proteins to mechanically connect intracellular and …
