The field of neuroplasticity is increasingly exploring the non-neuronal components that shape synaptic, cellular, and circuit-level adaptation in the brain.

Biofilm-resident bacteria and fungi are significantly more tolerant to conventional antibiotics. The extracellular polymeric substance matrix acts as a ...

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 ...

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 ...

This neon tapestry of red and blue is a unique look at the space between cells in the body known as the extracellular matrix. This image was created using a new labeling technique that allows ...

Our cells are constantly being pushed, stretched, and compressed without our awareness: a play of invisible forces that influences their behavior. A study published in the journal Lab on a ...

This isn’t science fiction. It’s emerging biology — and it might be the key to slowing, or even halting, the aging process.

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 ...
