What does EC stand for?

The researchers demonstrated that, in mice, proteins known as extracellular matrix chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans form 'neural nets' in the brain that protect against the erasure of memory.

Indeed, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a major activator of the extracellular receptor kinase pathway that is central in learning and memory processes, is also a key modulator of hippocampal neurogenesis.

Francis Heart Center searched for ways to better explain the complex process of extracellular tissue repair of the heart, they turned to the medical illustrators and animators of Indianapolis-based Medical Animatics.

University of California (Oakland, CA) has patented an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric CD154, comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding an extracellular subdomain of non-human CD154, preferably murine CD154, that replaces a cleavage site of human CD154, and a second nucleotide sequence encoding an extracellular subdomain of human CD154 that binds to a human CD154 receptor.

Doctors plan to treat the soldiers with a fine powder called extracellular matrix, harvested from pig bladders.

White blood cells called neutrophils have a two-pronged defense against bacteria: They can swallow and destroy them or they can release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).

Interactions between cells and their extracellular matrix (ECM) environment are important in regulating numerous cellular functions.
