This chapter examines a subset of those interactions: direct cell contact with either other cells or extracellular matrix (ECM). Extracellular matrix is a general term for the extremely large proteins and polysaccharides that are secreted by some cells in a multicellular organism, and which acts as connective material to hold cells in a defined space.
