Springer Extracellular Matrix Omics: Biology of Extracellular Matrix Volume 7

Extracellular Matrix Omics provides comprehensive coverage of advanced omics approaches applied to extracellular matrix research. This volume explores specialised omics resources including databases, repositories and atlases dedicated to ECM study, alongside quantitative proteomics techniques for specific extracellular matrices such as basement membranes. The book examines critical biological processes including ECM degradation through degradomics analysis, cell-matrix interactions via adhesome mapping, and signalling pathways relevant to ECM biology. It addresses biomarker discovery and disease applications whilst investigating extracellular matrix interaction networks through interactomics, encompassing protein-protein interactions and protein-glycosaminoglycan interactions. This essential reference from Springer represents the seventh volume in the Biology of Extracellular Matrix series, offering researchers and scientists in physiology and biological sciences a detailed exploration of cutting-edge omics methodologies for understanding extracellular matrix composition, function and disease implications.
