The 67 pages that link to Extracellular matrix, each with the reason it gives.

• Wound healingNarrower topic: Repair replaces and reshapes this network to restore tissue structure.

• CollagenNarrower topic: Collagen is a major structural component of this broader tissue framework.

• BiomechanicsNarrower topic: Its composition governs how tissues resist, transmit, and respond to forces.

• TendonNarrower topic: Tendon cells are embedded in this matrix, which carries most of the tissue’s load.

• CartilageNarrower topic: Cartilage’s matrix bears much of the tissue’s mechanical load.

• Tissue engineeringNarrower topic: Engineered constructs often reproduce or recruit this native cellular environment.

• Basement membraneNarrower topic: Basement membranes are specialized, sheet-like forms of extracellular matrix.

• Cell migrationNarrower topic: Its fibers and proteins provide both migration surfaces and physical constraints.

• FibroblastNarrower topic: Fibroblasts produce and remodel this surrounding network.

• PericyteNarrower topic: Pericytes interact with vessel matrix, which anchors them and helps shape their behavior.

• IntegrinNarrower topic: Integrins bind extracellular matrix components to anchor cells and sense their environment.

• Ligament (anatomy)Narrower topic: Ligament strength depends on the organized matrix surrounding its cells.

• Hyaline cartilageNarrower topic: Hyaline cartilage’s distinctive behavior comes largely from its specialized extracellular matrix.

• KeloidNarrower topic: Keloid growth reflects abnormal accumulation and remodeling of this tissue scaffold.

• ProteoglycanNarrower topic: Proteoglycans are major matrix components, shaping its physical properties and molecular interactions.

• Glomerular basement membraneNarrower topic: Its proteins and carbohydrates make up the membrane’s underlying material.

• ElastinNarrower topic: Elastic fibers are one structural system within this tissue-supporting network.

• Tunica mediaNarrower topic: The media’s elastic and collagen fibers are embedded in this surrounding matrix.

• EpitheliumNarrower topic: Epithelium contains little matrix between cells but relies on it beneath the sheet.

• Urbach–Wiethe diseaseNarrower topic: ECM1 belongs to this network, where its disruption contributes to hyaline accumulation.

• Myotendinous junctionNarrower topic: The junction is a specialized connection between muscle-cell structures and the surrounding matrix.

• Pancreatic stellate cellsNarrower topic: Excess production of this network is the defining tissue-level output of activated stellate cells.
