Intramuscular extracellular matrix: complex environment of muscle cells

Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2002 Jan;30(1):20-5. doi: 10.1097/00003677-200201000-00005.

Abstract

Different collagen types among other extracellular matrix molecules, remodeling of the extracellular matrix with the aid of matrix metalloproteinases, and integrin-related signaling can enhance the adaptive and recovery potential of muscle cells.
