Microengineered Gradient Hydrogels for Mechanobiology
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Gradient hydrogels are used to mimic the mechanical heterogeneity in native tissues, offering powerful in vitro platforms to study cell‐material interactions in diverse pathophysiological contexts. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the design and experimental considerations for stiffness gradient hydrogels, discussing exemplary achievements ...

Laminins in basement membrane assembly
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2013 The heterotrimeric laminins are a defining component of all basement membranes and self-assemble into a cell-associated network. The three short arms of the cross-shaped laminin molecule form the network nodes, with a strict requirement for one α, one β ...

Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease: Recent Updates. [PDF]
Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease is a small-vessel vasculitis involving the kidneys (∼90%) and the lungs (∼60%). Antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane are directly pathogenic in anti-glomerular basement membrane disease; however ...

Plasmid-Encoded Outer Membrane Protein YadA Mediates Specific Binding of Enteropathogenic Yersiniae to Various Types of Collagen [PDF]
, 1992 The plasmid-encoded outer membrane protein YadA of enteropathogenic yersiniae is associated with pathogenicity. Recently, collagen binding of YadA-positive yersiniae was reported without detailed characterization (L. Emödy, J. Heesemann, H. Wolf-Watz, M.

The Glomerular Basement Membrane as a Barrier to Albumin
Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2013 The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) is the central, non-cellular layer of the glomerular filtration barrier that is situated between the two cellular components—fenestrated endothelial cells and interdigitated podocyte foot processes.
