Extracellular matrix in development [electronic resource] / Douglas W. DeSimone, Robert P. Mecham, editors.

Cells in the developing embryo depend on signals from the extracellular environment to help guide their differentiation. An important mediator in this process is the extracellular matrix - secreted macromolecules that interact to form large protein networks outside the cell. During development, the...
