ECM signals ECM degradation
W hen Caroline Damsky moved her lab to the University of California, San Francisco, in 1985, she knew she would have an instant colleague in Zena Werb. There was a natural connection between their work. That connection would be refl ected in their discoveries, which delineated an integrin-mediated pathway from the extracellular matrix (ECM) outside the cell to the internal, gene-expressing life...
متن کاملECM remodeling in hypertensive heart disease.
Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) occurs in patients that clinically have both diastolic and systolic heart failure and will soon become the most common cause of heart failure. Two key aspects of heart failure secondary to HHD are the relatively highly prevalent LV hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis, caused by changes in the local and systemic neurohormonal environment. The fibrotic state is marke...
متن کاملPeri-adipocyte ECM remodeling in obesity and adipose tissue fibrosis
Adipocytes differentiate and function in environments rich in extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. The phenotypes of genetically modified mice have aided in recognizing the importance of ECM proteins and their modifiers, e.g., proteinases, in the regulation of obesity and metabolism. Most of the molecular mechanisms through which ECM proteins and modifiers regulate adipogenesis or adipocyte fun...
متن کاملImplementing the Executable Conceptual Model ( ECM )
The term was created by Peter Chen to describe a data infrastructure (database) which is directly based on the conceptual (i.e. Entity-Relationship) model. Conceptual models are the generally accepted approach to design abstract models of the real world. ECM takes this concept one step further and uses a conceptual model also at the instance level. The conversion of a conceptual model to tables...
متن کاملComputational modeling of three-dimensional ECM-rigidity sensing to guide directed cell migration.
Filopodia have a key role in sensing both chemical and mechanical cues in surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). However, quantitative understanding is still missing in the filopodial mechanosensing of local ECM stiffness, resulting from dynamic interactions between filopodia and the surrounding 3D ECM fibers. Here we present a method for characterizing the stiffness of ECM that is sensed by f...
