Extracellular Matrix

As per available reports about 326 journals, 100 Conferences are presently dedicated exclusively to extracellular matrix and about 1,990,000 articles are being published on the current trends in extracellular matrix. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to extracellular matrix are being carried out. As reported in extracellular matrix article by Jamie A Davies (2001), the tissues of a multicellular organism contain two main components, the cells themselves, on which most biological research has traditionally focused, and the material that lies between the cells. This material is called the extra-cellular matrix, usually abbreviated to ‘ECM’. The main functions of ECM are to fill space between cells, to provide a barrier that isolates tissues from each other, to provide navigational cues for migratory cells, to provide signals that alter cell behaviour, and to sequester biologically active compounds such as growth factors.

The Journal of Single Cell Biology is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in extracellular matrix. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Single Cell Biology provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of extracellular matrix and cell biology, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

OMICS International – a pioneer in organizing international conferences (5th International Conference and Exhibition on Cell and Gene Therapy May 19-21, 2016 San Antonio, USA and discuss about the theme Frontiers in Cell and Gene Therapy: From Bench to Bedside. This is an exclusive opportunity for experts to share their latest findings, technical expertise and experiences in the fields of Cell and Gene Therapy: Potential Applications, Plant Stem Cell Rejuvenation, Plant Stem Cells: Human Therapeutics, Stem Cell Therapies, Cellular Therapies, Advanced Gene Therapeutics, Molecular Basis of Epigenetics.The scientific sessions were arranged in an interdisciplinary manner to allow delegates to explore issues directly connected to their own areas of work. They also provide an opportunity to engage with Eminent Delegates, Speakers, Exhibitors, Sponsors, Collaborators, Participants, etc of our conferences from a wide range of disciplines).
