Overview

Extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling is a process by which cells communicate with their environments and respond to local biochemical cues. ECM signaling is a key component of many biological processes, including tissue development, wound healing, immune cell activation, and cancer metastasis. By mediating cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions, ECM signaling allows cells to respond to their environment and coordinate the growth and development of tissue. ECM signaling also plays a critical role in various diseases as changes in the ECM composition and structure can lead to abnormal cellular activities and cell dysfunctions. Research into the roles of ECM signaling in normal and disease states will continue to shape our understanding of human health and disease.
