Abstract

Ever since the extracellular matrix was first viewed through early microscopes, the matrix has been the subject of much speculation and its components the bearers of such fanciful names as amorphous ground substance. In recent years, major strides have been made in the development of methods to study the matrix. They include new techniques for exploring the biochemistry of two major components of the matrix, collagen and proteoglycan; advances in methods for culturing cells from these tissues; and new staining and other microscopic procedures for viewing the tissue and localizing the components. This multidiscipline approach is now in the process of revolutionizing the understanding of connective tissue structure and metabolism. This discussion outlines the current status of a study of proteoglycan structure and speculates on possible relationships to function in aorta.
