Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD) are two different pathological entities; however, they sometimes share similarities in histological structure depending on the context. Thus, distinguishing between the two may require care...
The mortality rates have been increasing for glioma in adolescents and young adults (AYAs, aged 15-39 years). However, current biomarkers for clinical assessment in AYAs glioma are limited, prompting the urgent need for identifying ideal prognostic s...
The tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in tumor progression and immune response, with the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulating immune cell infiltration. However, the interplay between ECM dynamics and tumor immunity remains poorly understo...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network of biomolecules that plays an integral role in the structure, processes, and signaling mechanisms of cells and tissues. Identifying and quantifying changes in these matrix components provides insigh...
Organ function depends on the three-dimensional integrity of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The structure resulting from the location and association of ECM components is a central regulator of cell behavior, but a dearth of matrix-specific analysis...
BACKGROUND: Novel circulating markers for the non-invasive staging of chronic liver disease (CLD) are in high demand. Although underutilized, extracellular matrix (ECM) components offer significant diagnostic potential. This study evaluates ECM-relat...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a frequent, worldwide tumor described for its huge complexity, including inter-/intra-heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment (TME) variability. Intra-tumor heterogeneity and its connections with metabolic reprogramming an...

Perineuronal nets (PNN) are a special highly structured type of extracellular matrix encapsulating synapses on large populations of CNS neurons. PNN undergo structural changes in schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, post-traumatic co...
pH fluctuations within the extracellular matrix (ECM) and its principal constituent collagen, particularly in solid tumors and chronic wounds, may influence its structure and function. Whereas previous research examined the impact of pH on collagen f...
The importance of dynamic mechanical control over the cellular microenvironment has long been appreciated. In a recent issue of Device, Raman and colleagues design a clever yet generalizable tool to achieve this, illustrating magnetic stimulation of ...
