Fibulin-4 deposition requires EMILIN-1 in the extracellular matrix of osteoblasts

Abstract Tissue microenvironments formed by extracellular matrix networks play an important role in regulating tissue structure and function. Extracellular microfibrillar networks composed of fibrillins and their associated ligands such as LTBPs, fibulins, and EMILINs are of particular interest in t...
