Mechanisms of Basement Membrane Micro-Perforation during Cancer Cell Invasion into a 3D Collagen Gel
Cancer invasion through basement membranes represents the initial step of tumor dissemination and metastasis. However, little is known about how human cancer cells breach basement membranes.

The prognostic significance of type IV collagen expression in colorectal carcinomas [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Breakdown of basement membrane is believed to be an essential step for tumor invasion and metastasis. The interaction between tumor cells and extracellular matrix can also result in induction of basement membrane synthesis by tumor and ...

Genetic Suppression of Basement Membrane Defects in Caenorhabditis elegans by Gain of Function in Extracellular Matrix and Cell-Matrix Attachment Genes. [PDF]
Basement membranes are extracellular matrices essential for embryonic development in animals. Peroxidasins are extracellular peroxidases implicated in the unique sulfilimine cross-links between type IV basement membrane collagens. Loss of function in the

Tubular basement membrane deposits after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Background Extraglomerular immune complex deposition is rare and only a few membranous nephropathy cases with tubular basement membrane deposits have been reported following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
