Abundant nonliving extracellular matrix?

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network of proteins and carbohydrates that provide structural support for cells in tissues. It is abundant in tissues with high mechanical stress, such as cartilage, tendons, and bone. The ECM also plays a role in cell signaling, tissue development, and wound healing.
