What Mouse Mutants Teach Us About Extracellular Matrix Function

Aszódi, A., Legate, Kyle R., Nakchbandi, I., Fässler, R.·2006·Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology

Abstract

For many years the extracellular matrix was viewed as a benign scaffold for arranging cells within connective tissues, but it is now being redefined as a dynamic, mobile, and flexible key player in defining cellular behavior. Gene targeting, transgene expression, and spontaneous mutations of extracellular matrix proteins in mice have greatly accelerated our mechanistic view of the structural and instructive functions of the extracellular matrix in developmental and regenerative processes. This review summarizes the phenotypes of genetic mouse models carrying mutations in extracellular matrix proteins, with specific emphasis on recent advances. The application of reverse genetics has demonstrated the multifunctionality of matrix proteins in a biological context and, in addition, has brought a novel perspective to the understanding of human pathologies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
