Extracellular matrix (ECM) is the natural scaffolding and framework in which cells reside. It is a network of macromolecules that provides structural and biochemical cues. ECM influences all aspects of cell behavior, including proliferation, differentiation, survival, and function. Importantly, the composition and structure of the ECM varies from tissue-to-tissue, providing a unique microenvironment for proper cell and tissue function.
