Abstract
The extracellular connective tissue matrix of the skin is a complex aggregate of distinct collagenous and non-collagenous components. Optimal quantities and delicate interactions of these components are necessary to maintain normal physiologic properties of skin. This overview summarizes the progress made in understanding the normal biology and biochemistry of the extracellular matrix, and will highlight cutaneous diseases with underlying molecular defects in the structure and expression of extracellular matrix components.
