Microfibrils: a cornerstone of extracellular matrix and a key to understand Marfan syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

The extracellular matrix is made of collagen, reticular, elastic and oxytalan fibers, amorphous ground substance and adhesive proteins playing a structural role, such as fibronectin; the basement membrane is a specialized matrix compartment which adheres to non-connective tissues and is continuous with the remaining matrix thanks to reticular fibers, anchoring fibrils, collagen VI filaments and oxytalan fibers....
