The extracellular matrix (ECM) is now appreciated as a key text of much larger macromolecular complexes including regulator of cell and tissue behavior [1,2]. Support for this many other ECM components. Therefore, it is not surpris- notion has been derived from correlative studies demon- ing that the composition of ECM is usually quite dynamic. strating large changes in the composition and distribution This not only reflects differential expression of genes of extracellular matrix components during tissue develop- encoding ECM components, but also various post-tran- ment, differentiation and in response to hormone/growth scriptional processes. In the cases of proteoglycans, struc- factor/cytokine influences.
