In contrast, pathological ECM calcification can be observed in any tissue of the body. The fact that only skeletal ECM mineralizes under physiological conditions inspires one to question whether ...

Outlook and perspectives for future research: insights into the structure–function relationship of the ECM, especially in ageing and injured fascial tissues and skeletal muscle, are highly relevant ...

Focal adhesions (FAs) are structures that connect cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) (the cell's external ... often found in human cardiac or skeletal muscle tissue, responsible for ...
