sejtmátrix
Sejtmátrix, often translated as extracellular matrix or ECM, is a complex network of molecules that provides structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells. It is a non-cellular component present within all tissues and organs. The composition of the sejtmátrix varies significantly depending on the tissue type and its function. Key components include structural proteins like collagen and elastin, proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and various growth factors.
The primary functions of the sejtmátrix are diverse. It plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue architecture
Disruptions in sejtmátrix composition or organization are implicated in a wide range of diseases, including cancer,
