By transcending taxonomic and environmental boundaries, we aim to reveal underlying principles governing architectures, functions and adaptations of ECMs, with a focus on animal, plant and biofilm ECMs. Highlighting the role of water in ECM composition and function, and road-mapping the technical challenges in characterizing these complex materials, we propose an interdisciplinary framework to advance our understanding and application of ECMs across multiple scientific fields. Key focus areas include specimen preparation, multiscale analysis, and multimethod approaches. The optimization of specimen preparation first enables us meeting both biological and experimental conditions. The use of techniques that bridge the multiscale nature of ECMs is next, followed by integration of multiple techniques that are both position- and time-resolved, including structural and spectroscopic imaging.
