Abstract
The extracellular matrix is not just the glue between cells or a kind of an intercellular cement as it was assumed before details of its molecular architecture were elucidated. Together with the adhesion receptors located at the cell surface it serves highly sophisticated functions including specific cell-cell recognition, cell communication, growth regulation, differentiation guidance of cell migration and maintenance of tissues.
