al. 2005 ). The main ligands of the integrins include a large number of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, such as osteopontin (OPN/ SPP1), collagens, laminins, and fibronectin (FN), among others ( Plow et al. 2000 ). Interestingly, on certain

hens while Fn1 (fibronectin 1) was more abundant in FF hens with no differences by age. Figure 4 Stripchart of the ten genes belonging to the extracellular matrix group. Each point represents a replicate from qPCR analysis while horizontal

/well were plated onto fibronectin-coated coverslips in 12 well plates and allowed to luteinise. Cells were cultured in supplemented MDCB 131 media according to Laird et al. (2013) with the following important alterations: (i) LR 3 -IGF1 was omitted from

non-germ cells (e.g. pre-granulosa cells and fibroblasts) or amount/composition of connective tissue (i.e. collagen and fibronectin). Indeed, this is a period of active proliferation of pre-granulosa cells, with a 20-fold increase observed between gd40

fibronectin type 2 molecules( Saalmann et al. 2001 ). SBPs bind to sperm following ejaculation and facilitate numerous functions including capacitation and motility ( Ekhlasi-Hundrieser et al. 2007 , Plante et al. 2016 ). In recent years, the presence

tissue hydration and redistribution of collagen fibres. Hyaluronan also impairs the interaction of fibronectin and collagen ( Word et al. 2007 ) and promotes cervical ripening by stimulating macrophages, which produce cytokines that attract other

syncytiotrophoblast ( Ladines-Llave et al. 1991 , Maruo et al. 1997 ) ( Fig. 2 ). VEGF enhances the adhesion of the trophoblast to the luminal epithelium ( Binder et al. 2014 ), while TGFB increases ECM remodelling, via the secretion of fibronectin, for example

epithelium is mediated by its cell wall-associated lipoteichoic acid while high-affinity interactions are mediated by extracellular matrix proteins like fibronectin, laminin, and others which interact with host cell integrins ( Doran & Nizet 2004 ). The
