    continuous restructuring of the protein network outside cells

    Extracellular Matrix Remodeling (ECM Remodeling) refers to the dynamic process where the structure and composition of the extracellular matrix (a network of proteins and other molecules outside cells) are continuously broken down and rebuilt. This process is crucial for tissue development, wound healing, and maintaining healthy skin and hair, but it can also contribute to diseases like fibrosis and cancer if dysregulated.
