Long Prehensile Protrusions Can Facilitate Cancer Cell Invasion through the Basement Membrane

open access: yesCells, 2023
A basic process in cancer is the breaching of basement-membrane barriers to permit tissue invasion. Cancer cells can use proteases and physical mechanisms to produce initial holes in basement membranes, but how cells squeeze through this barrier into ...

The prognostic significance of type IV collagen expression in colorectal carcinomas [PDF]

open access: yesArchive of Oncology, 2003
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 ...

Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease

open access: yesDefinitions, 2020
Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease (anti-GBM) is a rare but well-characterized cause of glomerulonephritis. It is defined by the presence of autoantibodies directed at specific antigenic targets within the glomerular and/or pulmonary basement ...

Enhanced structure and function of human pluripotent stem cell‐derived beta‐cells cultured on extracellular matrix

open access: yesStem Cells Translational Medicine, 2021
The differentiation of human stem cells into insulin secreting beta‐like cells holds great promise to treat diabetes. Current protocols drive stem cells through stages of directed differentiation and maturation and produce cells that secrete insulin in ...

The Acinar Cage: Basement Membranes Determine Molecule Exchange and Mechanical Stability of Human Breast Cell Acini.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The biophysical properties of the basement membrane that surrounds human breast glands are poorly understood, but are thought to be decisive for normal organ function and malignancy.

Etanercept-Induced Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease

open access: yesCase Reports in Nephrology and Dialysis, 2021
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare form of small-vessel vasculitis that typically causes rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with or without alveolar haemorrhage.
