Pablo Sáez (LaCàN, IMTech) Cells engage in continuous interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM). This connection between cells and the ECM is responsible for various cellular and tissue responses, including tissue morphogenesis, repair, and organ development [1]. However, when unregulated, this cell-ECM connection can lead to pathological conditions. Among the …
