BIOMEDE 6350
Transcript Abbreviation:
ECM in Bioeng
Course Description:
Extracellular matrix (ECM) present in mammalian tissue(s) is important for the integrity and tensile strength of the underlying tissue as well as for cell-matrix interactions and matrix mineralization. This course provides an overview of the composition, structure and function of ECM and its application(s) in bioengineering.
