Does this only refer to animal cells and eukaryotes? it is not clear. Brallan 09:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC) this page is blatantly copied from a website, and is in need of an urgent rewrite...Chefette1223 14:39, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I think it only applies to animals. It doesn't apply to plants, fungi, or algal protists since their cells are enclosed within a cell wall. It may not apply to non-algal protists, since they seldom form multicellular structures. The article should probably state that this is a characteristic only of animal cells. --EncycloPetey 04:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ECM and Regeneration

New research into this has allowed regrowth of human body parts. This is a video clip, I could not find an article to refer to. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7354279.stm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bnitin (talkcontribs) 05:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
