Cell-Matrix Interactions
Researchers in this area study the mechanisms
by which cells interact with the substrate on which they are
growing. Such interactions lead to cell morphogenesis and differentiation,
tissue folding and interactions, cell motility, and organogenesis.
Information from such studies can be used to design matrices
conducive for cell growth.
