Extracellular Matrix Assembly and Structure - Couverture rigide

Livre 18 sur 25: Biology of Extracellular Matrix
 
9780127751702: Extracellular Matrix Assembly and Structure

Synopsis

The complex and critical process of extracellular matrix (ECM) assembly is described in this book. Assembly may involve molecules interacting with molecules of the same matrix class, such as in collagen, or interactions between different ECM molecules, such as in basement membranes. The text shows how this is driven by structural information within the matrix monomer. This information will be of interest to cell, developmental, and molecular biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and biomedical researchers involved in macromolecular assembly, biological macromolecules, and extracellular matrix.
