The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Fibroblasts: origins, definitions, and functions in health and disease (2021, background): “, ECM proteins) outside of the cell (Hynes and Naba, 2012) as opposed to, for example, keratin filament-laden suprabasal epidermal cells or sarcomere protein-filled myofibers, which may permit fibroblasts to remain relatively unspecialized and exit cellular quiescence upon stimulation.”
Three-Dimensional in Vitro Cell Culture Models in Drug Discovery and Drug Repositioning (2018, background): “Earlier thought to mostly provide structural support, ECM components (for a comprehensive review of ECM constituents see Hynes and Naba, 2012) are now known to actively affect most aspects of cellular behavior in a tissue-specific manner.”
Targeting cancer stem cell pathways for cancer therapy (2020, background): “The ECM is an insoluble structural component of the matrix in mesenchymal and epithelial vessels.”
