The genetic information contained in a cell needs the appropriate environment to express itself, not only the intracellular environment but also the extracel- lular one. The latter is provided to a great extent by the molecules which constitute the extracellular matrix. On the one hand, the matrix creates inter alia the right pH and osmotic envi- ronment and allows the diffusion of messengers targeting the cell membrane; on the other hand, it has a mechanical effect whose relevance began to be understood 28 years ago. Basically, the messages that reach the cell and are then transported to the genome depend ... Read more
