In a recent study published in Neuronal Psychiatry, researchers explored the molecular and cellular processes regulated by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) in the extracellular matrix ...

A team of researchers has revealed that the Dumpy protein, a component of extracellular matrices -- or ECM -- is the key factor in regulating the stereotypic origami-like folding of wing-cell sheets.

The numerous cells that make up mammalian tissues are surrounded by an intricate network of proteins known as the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, these proteins provide cells with a structural ...

Sarcopenia—reduced muscle mass, strength, and function—is often associated with aging and frequently impacts quality of life in the elderly. Individuals with sarcopenia are also prone to further ...
