MatrixDB 2024: an increased coverage of extracellular matrix interactions, a new Network Explorer and a new web interface.

MatrixDB, a member of the International Molecular Exchange consortium (IMEx), is a curated interaction database focused on interactions established by extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents including proteins, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans and ECM bioactive fragments. The architecture of MatrixDB was upgraded to ease interaction data export, allow versioning and programmatic access and ensure sustainability. The new version of the database includes more than twice the number of manually curated and experimentally-supported interactions.
