In a recent study, led by corresponding author, Anna-Maria Liphardt, PhD, of the Rheumatology and Immunology Department at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and the ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

A joint research team develops robust and stretchable extracellular matrix (ECM) membrane reinforced by nanofiber scaffolds. Animal models are widely used for evaluating a drug in its development ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale lipid bilayer particles secreted by cells that mediate intercellular communication ...

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 ...
