Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a review on the extracellular matrix and the mechanisms its components interacts with the cells. I enjoy reading the manuscript and understand it will be interesting for the journal's readers too. So I recommend it for publication after minor revision. I suggest the authors add a small section on hyaluronan and its interaction mechanisms.
Author Response
- As suggested, a small section on hyaluronan and its interaction mechanisms was added with appropriate references.
Reviewer 2 Report
On the whole, this review is well-structured, well-organized, and enjoyable to read. Though I did not notice any serious flaws, there are a few points that should be rectified--
- Graphical abstract: in the cell adhesion section, it should be matrix-- cell membrane ---cell
- There is no citation/reference in the introduction section.
- Check all the abbreviations used in the manuscript (e.g. extracellular matrix)
- References should be rearranged as per the journal format.
- Authors should decrease the number of references by omitting older ones and retaining only the most relevant and latest ones, as more recent references are very few.
Author Response
- The graphical abstract in the cell adhesion section was corrected to be more precise.
- The number of references was shortened by omitting older and insignificant ones.
- Some references were added to the introduction section.
- The changes made do not decrease the value of this work.
