Tuning the Testicular Microenvironment for Enhancing Human Sertoli Cells Maturation and Functionality In Vitro

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An in vitro testicular model is developed by generating connective tissue equivalents from human dermal fibroblast‐derived microtissues and coupling them with human Sertoli cells or human Sertoli cell spheroids. This engineered microenvironment supports Sertoli cell maturation and functionality, providing a promising platform for studying human ...

Basement membrane proteoglycans and development

open access: yes, 1993
Basement membrane proteoglycans and development. Basement membranes contain distinct collagen, glycoprotein and proteoglycan species, and these exhibit considerable heterogeneity in isoform or type when different tissue types are compared.

High resolution immunoelectron microscopic localization of functional domains of laminin, nidogen, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan in epithelial basement membrane of mouse cornea reveals different topological orientations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Thin and ultrathin cryosections of mouse cornea were labeled with affinity-purified antibodies directed against either laminin, its central segments (domain 1), the end of its long arm (domain 3), the end of one of its short arms (domain 4), nidogen, or ...

Invadopodia and basement membrane invasion in vivo

open access: yesCell Adhesion & Migration, 2014
Over 20 years ago, protrusive, F-actin-based membrane structures, termed invadopodia, were identified in highly metastatic cancer cell lines. Invadopodia penetrate artificial or explanted extracellular matrices in 2D culture conditions and have been ...

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Architecture of the Basement Membrane and the Mouse Cornea

open access: yes, 1987
Thin and ultrathin cryosections of mouse cornea were labeled with affinity-purified antibodies directed against either laminin, its central segments (domain 1), the end of its long arm (domain 3), the end of one of its short arms (domain 4), nidogen, or ...

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms regulating Cell Proliferation during the Forebrain Development of the Mouse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The predominant precursor cell type during cortical neurogenesis are radial glia cells, which receive extrinsic and intrinsic signals that might influence cell proliferation and neurogenesis.

Basement membranes at a glance

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science
ABSTRACT Basement membranes (BMs) underlie or surround most tissues. They are formed of secreted proteins that associate with cell surfaces and are the most ancient animal extracellular matrix. Laminin and collagen IV are core components that polymerize into self-associating networks, providing BMs with an organizing scaffold and tensile

Role of laminin and basement membrane in the morphological differentiation of human endothelial cells into capillary-like structures

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1988
We have defined a signal responsible for the morphological differentiation of human umbilical vein and human dermal microvascular endothelial cells in vitro.

The Mayo Clinic consensus report on membranous nephropathy; a promising step toward better treating the disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nephropharmacology
Membranous nephropathy is an immune complex disease caused by subepithelial deposits. The pathological manifestations of membranous nephropathy are considered by the creation of immune complexes in the epithelial cells of the glomerular basement membrane.
