The formation of supramolecular assemblies of ECM biopolymers defines an obvious and highly important interconnection of physical and biospecific characteristics of the matrices. In general, multiple specific interactions between individual biopolymers, such as collagen or fibronectin, result in the formation of large fibrillar or meshwork-like structures segmenting tissues and guiding cells by microstructural features and mechanical characteristics. With those structures, often referred to as connective tissue, basement membrane, and several others, the unique functionality of ECM and the fact that it is based on both the provision of specific binding sites and physical forces is best represented.
