A groundbreaking study led by Children's Hospital Los Angeles has found a novel mechanism behind neuroblastoma progression: the shape and structure of the extracellular matrix. The study, led by ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the complex network of proteins and sugars that provides structural and biochemical support for surrounding cells in the human body. This dynamic ...

Rhobo6, a light microscopy probe, gives scientists an unprecedented look at the extracellular matrix -- the collection of organized molecular structures that fills the spaces between cells in our ...

New research has uncovered a complex interplay between extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and the transcriptional responses of cancer cells, showing how they alter their gene expression to ‘escape’ ...

Fascia of live mouse pancreas, in which the extracellular matrix is labeled with Rhobo6 (red) and nuclei are labeled with Hoechst (cyan). Maximum intensity projection shown. Before arriving at Janelia ...
