Tissue formation and organ development in animals is a complex, lifelong process. The detailed quantitative evaluation of tissue construction and tissue-cell interaction is essential for a detailed understanding of organ development and its associated malfunctions which can be attributed to a variety of different disease states. However, quantitative studies of cellular events in vivo are restricted since high resolution techniques characterizing cell functions are not suitable for living organism. In vitro models of the ECM therefore represent an approximation of in vivo conditions with the...
