Objectives of the Course

To have information about extracellular matrix

Course Content

Composition of extracelluler matrix, properties of the molecules in the extracellular matrix, structure and function of fibrillary and non fibrillary proteins structure, feutures and functions of collogen, structure and functions of proteoglicans and glucoseaminoglicans. Mediators which controls the cycle of extracellular matrix, factors taking part in extracellular matrix cycle (protein synthesis, enzymes leading to the destruction, inhibitors, and so on.) measuring methods of extracellular matrix cycle.
