extracellular matrix

Strong material naturally occurring in animals and plants, made up of protein and long-chain sugars (polysaccharides) in which cells are embedded. It is often called a ‘biological glue’, and forms part of connective tissues such as bone and skin.

The cell walls of plants and bacteria, and the exoskeletons of insects and other arthropods, are also formed by types of extracellular matrix.
