Current Biology, 2017 Basement membranes (BMs) are thin, dense sheets of specialized, self-assembled extracellular matrix that surround most animal tissues (Figure 1, top). The emergence of BMs coincided with the origin of multicellularity in animals, suggesting that they were essential for the formation of tissues.

THE HISTOGENESIS OF BASEMENT MEMBRANES [PDF]
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1963 A parietal yolk sac carcinoma of the mouse that secretes large quantities of basement membrane-like material has been used to study the formation of basement membranes. Suitably characterized fluorescein-labeled antibodies against this material stained basement membranes of epithelial structures and vessels, as well as reticulin.

Basement membrane components [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2003 New blood tests in inflammatory bowel disease Idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) collectively describes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). UC is characterised by inflammation limited to the colonic mucosa and collagen deposition only in the submucosa,1 whereas CD is characterised by transmural, granulomatous inflammation and ...

WormBook, 2005 Basement membranes are thin, specialized extracellular matrices surrounding most tissues in all metazoans. The compositions and functions of basement membranes have generally been well conserved throughout the subkingdom. Genetic analyses of basement membrane components in C.

Collagens of Basement Membranes
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982 Recent biochemical and immunohistochemical studies have described several components of basement membranes including heparan sulfate proteoglycan, 2 high molecular weight glycoproteins (fibronectin and laminin), and 2 collagen types (IV and V). These collagens have several properties which distinguish them from other types that are located in the ...

Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Disease [PDF]
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2014 AbstractAntiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare but life-threatening autoimmune vasculitis that is characterized by the development of pathogenic autoantibodies to type IV collagen antigens expressed in the glomerular and alveolar basement membranes.

Basement membrane and stroke [PDF]
Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2018 Located at the interface of the circulation system and the CNS, the basement membrane (BM) is well positioned to regulate blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity. Given the important roles of BBB in the development and progression of various neurological disorders, the BM has been hypothesized to contribute to the pathogenesis of these diseases.

The glomerular basement membrane [PDF]
Experimental Cell Research, 2012 The kidney's glomerular filtration barrier consists of two cells-podocytes and endothelial cells-and the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), a specialized extracellular matrix that lies between them. Like all basement membranes, the GBM consists mainly of laminin, type IV collagen, nidogen, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan.

Complexities of the glomerular basement membrane [PDF]
Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2020 The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) is a key component of the glomerular capillary wall and is essential for kidney filtration. The major components of the GBM include laminins, type IV collagen, nidogens and heparan sulfate proteoglycans. In addition, the GBM harbours a number of other structural and regulatory components and provides a reservoir ...

Kidney International, 1992 Basement membranes are heterogeneous, highly specialized, electron-dense structures constructed from components of extracellular matrix proteins 20 to 200nm in width. They provide anchorage for adjacent cells as well as stimuli for cell differentiation, cell migration, and cell phenotype.
