   The extracellular matrix is not a static scaffold simply composed of collagen, elastin, and several adhesion molecules. Its functional state largely depends on the spatial structure, ligand-binding capacity, and local signal distribution shaped by glycosylation. Glycosaminoglycan chains, glycan ...
