    provide structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells

    Extracellular Matrix Proteins (ECM Proteins) are a group of molecules secreted by cells that provide structural and biochemical support to the surrounding cells. These proteins, such as collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, form a complex network that helps maintain tissue integrity, facilitates cell communication, and plays a crucial role in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
