Interaction of immunocompetent cells with extracellular matrix is one of the main stages in their homing and circulation. In this connection we investigated quantitative and dynamic parameters of interaction between splenocytes and 3D collagen matrix in vitro. It was found out that, about 20% of mouse spleen lymphocytes exhibited ability to bind to type I collagen that reflected as their adhesion to and/or migration in collagen matrix. The number of lymphocytes capable of the interaction with collagen gained successively as far as the time of their incubation on collagen matrix was increased and reached maximum by 24 h. The lymphocyte-collagen interaction was energy-dependent and engaged collagen receptors, which probably have been already expressed on cells before spleen lymphocytes were isolated. The series of intracellular interchanges as activation of protein kinase C, assembly of actin filaments and depolymerization of tubulin microtubules were critical for lymphocytes to adhere to and further to migrate in collagen matrix. Long lasting incubation (24 h and more) of lymphocytes in adhesion excluding conditions did not reduce the number of cells able to interact with collagen, but to a great extent changed mechanisms providing their adhesion and/or migration.

Numerous naturally occurring biological structures have inspired the development of innovative biomaterials for a wide range of applications. Notably, the nanotopographical architectures found in natural materials have been leveraged in biomaterial design to enhance cell adhesion and proliferation and improve tissue regeneration for biomedical applications. In this study, we fabricated three-dimensional (3D) chitin-glucan micro/nanofibrous fungal-based spheres coated with collagen (type I) to mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) and its primary chemical components, including collagen, play a pivotal role in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. The ECM actively regulates cell proliferation, migration, and, importantly, resistance to various adverse factors. It is widely recognized as a key factor in modifying the resistance of tumor cells to various treatment modalities and cytotoxic compounds.

The elongation of tissues and organs is important for proper morphogenesis in animal development. In Drosophila ovaries, the elongation of egg chambers involves aligned Collagen IV fiber-like structures, a gradient of extracellular matrix stiffness and actin-based protrusion-driven collective cell migration, leading to the rotation of the egg chamber. Egg chamber elongation and rotation depend on the atypical cadherin Fat2.

Current understanding of the histology of the dermoskeleton of tetrapods comes from fossilized and recent remains of skulls, osteoderms, carapace, plastron and other postcranial material which were always investigated using linear cross polarized light (LCPL) microscopy. The pectoral girdle of vast majority of non-amniote tetrapods, including temnospondyls evolved large ventrally located dermal bones- the interclavicle and a pair of clavicles. Despite that, there is a lack of information about the bone tissue structure from these postcranial dermal bones.
