Cell-extracellular matrix

The integrins comprise a family of cell-surface proteins that are involved in adhesion, a process vital for many processes, such as anchorage, migration, growth and differentiation. Cells may adhere to other cells (cell-cell adhesion) or may interact with soluble molecules that constitute the extracellular matrix (cell-extracellular matrix). The integrins are linked to elements of the cytoskeleton, and so they provide a bridge between the external cellular environment and intracellular activation processes. [Pg.103]

The significance of exon shuffling to protein evolution, in particular in respect to the development of multicellularity, is signified by a short inventory of processes involving proteins created by modular assembly. Exon shuffling facilitates the construction of proteins involved in regulation of blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, and complement activation, plus most constituents of the extracellular matrix, cell adhesion proteins, and receptor proteins [10, 57].

For a tissue substitute to function properly, many biological aspects of the tissue and component cells must be understood. Some aspects include the extracellular matrix, cell-specific gene expression and surface markers, cell growth parameters, population arrangement and behavior, and the immune system. [Pg.3116]
