Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a non-cellular three-dimensional macromolecular network
composed of collagens, proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans, elastin, fibronectin, laminins …

We provide a comprehensive classification of the proteoglycan gene families and respective
protein cores. This updated nomenclature is based on three criteria: Cellular and subcellular …

The structural spike (S) glycoprotein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2
(SARS-CoV-2) plays an essential role in infection and is an important target for neutralizing …

To improve our ability to identify hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and their localization in
vivo, we compared the gene expression profiles of highly purified HSCs and non-self …

The skeleton is a metabolically active organ that undergoes continuous remodeling
throughout life. Bone remodeling involves the removal of mineralized bone by osteoclasts …

Extracellular matrices (ECM s) are highly specialized and dynamic three‐dimensional (3D)
scaffolds into which cells reside in tissues. ECM is composed of a variety of fibrillar …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

An important factor in the transition from an open to a closed circulatory system was a
change in vessel wall structure and composition that enabled the large arteries to store and …

The study of biomineralization is not only important to gain an understanding of how mineral-
rich tissues are created in vivo but also because it is a great source of inspiration for the …

Elastic fibres are essential extracellular matrix macromolecules comprising an elastin core
surrounded by a mantle of fibrillin-rich microfibrils. They endow connective tissues such as …
