Modelling cell–matrix interactions in airway smooth muscle cells

Tissues, in both humans and animals, consist of cells embedded in a dynamic scaffold known as the extracellular matrix (ECM). Cells interact with the ECM through the process of cell–matrix adhesion, and these interactions, mediated by transmembrane proteins called integrins, are fundamental in regul...
