ECM mapping schematic. In fresh tissue, the ECM is covered by cells, hampering both the tagging of ECM proteins with antibodies and the visualisation of ECM structure. Removing cells (decellularization) lifts this obstacle, opening the way for precise imaging, down to sub-micron scale, of ECM structure. The development of method to decellularise and map disease-associated structures opens a window into disease progression.
