Cartilage Extracellular Matrix

Cartilage extracellular matrix is a gel-like substance made up of proteins and carbohydrates that is found between cells in the tissue of organs and bones. It provides structural support and aids in cell migration and communication. It also contains several different components important for growth, healing, and repair. Its significance is in its ability to act as a cushion for cells and organs, as well as providing a framework for the growth and repair of cells and tissues. Its uses include aiding in tissue engineering, treating injuries, and helping the body to regenerate after an injury.
