Vascular Basement Membrane Fragmentation in Keloids and the Expression of Key Basement Membrane Component Genes [PDF]
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global OpenBackground:. Keloids are growing scars that arise from injury to the reticular dermis and subsequent chronic local inflammation. The latter may be promoted by vascular hyperpermeability, which permits the ingress of chronic inflammatory cells/factors ...

Atypical basement membranes and basement membrane diversity – what is normal anyway? [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2020 ABSTRACT The evolution of basement membranes (BMs) played an essential role in the organization of animal cells into tissues and diversification of body plans. The archetypal BM is a compact extracellular matrix polymer containing laminin, nidogen, collagen IV and perlecan (LNCP matrix) tightly packed into a homogenously thin planar ...

Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease superimposed on membranous nephropathy after coronavirus disease 2019: A case report [PDF]
Journal of International Medical ResearchMembranous nephropathy concurrent with anti-glomerular basement membrane disease is rarely reported. Acute kidney injury is prominent when these diseases coexist. Coronavirus disease 2019 may trigger this superimposition.

Laminins in basement membrane assembly [PDF]
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 and one γ arm. The globular domain at the end of the long arm binds to cellular receptors, including

To form and function: on the role of basement membrane mechanics in tissue development, homeostasis and disease [PDF]
Open Biology, 2021 The basement membrane (BM) is a special type of extracellular matrix that lines the basal side of epithelial and endothelial tissues. Functionally, the BM is important for providing physical and biochemical cues to the overlying cells, sculpting the ...

Mechanisms of Basement Membrane Micro-Perforation during Cancer Cell Invasion into a 3D Collagen Gel
Gels, 2022 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.

Anti-GBM disease with positive serum anti-GBM antibodies but negative IgG deposition: A case report
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023 Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies are significantly specific for detecting anti-glomerular basement membrane disease. These antibodies are typically targeted against the non-collagenous (NC1) domain of the alpha 3 chain of type IV collagen and,
