Madhurapantula Rama Sashank, Orgel Joseph, Loewy Zvi (eds.) Extracellular Matrix: Developments and Therapeutics

ITexLi, 2021. — 147 p. — ISBN 1839682353 9781839682353 183968237X 9781839682377.This book reports research and new developments in the field of collagen structure, function, and biomechanics and discusses the relevance of hyaluronic acid and its therapeutic uses. It gives readers a glimpse of what is current in this area and we hope it piques their interest in learning more about ECM biology.
Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an extensive molecule network composed of three major components: protein, glycosaminoglycan, and glycoconjugate. ECM components, as well as cell adhesion receptors, interact with each other forming a complex network into which cells reside in all tissues and organs. Understanding ECM structure and function is important for developing biomedical applications that are as close to ‘native’ as possible. The book is written by pioneering scientists from all over the world.The Cellular Stress Response Interactome and Extracellular Matrix Cross-Talk during Fibrosis: A Stressed Extra-Matrix Affair
