This book emphasizes the importance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in diseases and explains how this knowledge can be applied to tissue engineering. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the extracellular matrix (ECM) as a key regulator of cellular behavior, tissue architecture, and pathological processes. Integrating current advances in matrix biology, it elucidates how ECM composition, mechanical properties and biochemical signaling shape normal physiology and diverse disease states.
The book examines the bidirectional crosstalk between cells and the ECM, detailing how matrix‑derived cues influence organelle dynamics, intracellular signaling pathways, and gene regulatory networks. Chapters analyze the contribution of ECM remodeling to cancer initiation, tumor dormancy, metastatic competence, inflammatory responses, and fibrotic progression. Special emphasis is placed on collagen and its post‑translational modifications, highlighting how molecular and supramolecular features underpin ECM stability, tissue mechanics, and disease susceptibility.
At the same time, the book looks at how important ECM mimicking and ECM-derived materials are for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. These scaffolds, designed to mimic natural signals in the microenvironment, create platforms for tissue repair, guiding stem cell differentiation and modelling disease mechanisms that are more relevant to the body. By combining molecular knowledge with new biomaterial strategies, the book highlights the potential of ECM-based approaches for new therapies.
This work is targeted towards researchers, clinicians and advanced trainees in cell biology, biomedical engineering, oncology and regenerative medicine. It helps to understand how the structure and function of the extracellular matrix (ECM) intersects with disease mechanisms and therapeutic development. By emphasising mechanistic depth and interdisciplinary perspectives, the text provides readers with the conceptual and methodological foundations essential for advancing ECM-focused research and designing the next generation of biomedical interventions.
Dr. Trayambak Basak is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Biosciences and Bioengineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi. His current work focuses on extracellular matrix biology, collagen post-translational modifications, and mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. His research aims to understand how enzymatic modifications of collagen regulate tissue structure, function, and regeneration in both physiological and cardiac fibrosis contexts.
Dr. Basak received his doctoral training at the CSIR-IGIB in the biological sciences, with a focus on proteomics and disease biology, following completion of his master's at the University of Calcutta. His postdoctoral work extensively focused on the discovery of site-specific basement membrane collagen IV PTMs at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA. Over the course of his academic career, he has developed interdisciplinary expertise spanning biochemistry, quantitative proteomics, and systems-level analysis of protein modifications. His work integrates experimental approaches with computational and quantitative analyses to address complex biological questions in connective tissue biology and enzyme function. The major interests of his research group are three-fold: dissecting the key changes in cell-ECM interactions during cardiac fibrosis, gaining a mechanistic understanding of cardiac fibrosis, and discovering new biomarkers for heart failure progression.
A cell biologist by training, Dr. Nagaraj Balasubramanian graduated from the University of Mumbai (Bombay) with a bachelor's and master's degrees in Microbiology. He received his PhD in Biochemistry from the Cancer Research Institute (now ACTREC) at the Tata Memorial Center, Mumbai. Taking a break from adhesion and cancer biology, he studied mammalian phototransduction at the University of Miami, before returning to study cell adhesion, focusing on membrane trafficking in the lab of Dr. Martin Schwartz at the University of Virginia. Dr. Balasubramainan moved to IISER Pune to start his research lab. The research interests of his group include understanding how cell adhesion regulates endocytic (caveolae) and exocytic (Ral-exocyst) trafficking, and its implications for cell migration and anchorage dependence in 2D and 3D microenvironments. The lab also studies the impact of targeting AURKA-mediated regulation of Ral in targeting tumor growth in cancers. More recently, the lab has also explored the role of cell adhesion in regulating organelle function and the implications for anchorage-dependent and -independent signalling and growth.

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
