Vasa Vasorum in Saphenous Vein for CABG: A Review of Morphological Characteristics

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2023
This short article discusses selected scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope features of vasa vasorum including pericytes and basement membrane of the human saphenous vein (SV) harvested with either conventional (CON) or no ...

Basement membrane ultrastructure and component localization data from uterine tissues during early mouse pregnancy

Data in Brief, 2016
Basement membranes (BMs) are specialized extracellular scaffolds that provide architecture and modulate cell behaviors in tissues, such as fat, muscle, endothelium, endometrium, and decidua.

A trypsin-like serine protease is involved in pseudorabies virus invasion through the basement membrane barrier of porcine nasal respiratory mucosa

Veterinary Research, 2011
Several alphaherpesviruses breach the basement membrane during mucosal invasion. In the present study, the role of proteases in this process was examined.

Basement membrane and cell integrity of self-tissues in maintaining Drosophila immunological tolerance. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2014
The mechanism underlying immune system recognition of different types of pathogens has been extensively studied over the past few decades; however, the mechanism by which healthy self-tissue evades an attack by its own immune system is less well ...

Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Underlying the Initiation and Progression of Alport Glomerular Pathology

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Alport syndrome results from a myriad of variants in the COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes that encode type IV (basement membrane) collagens. Unlike type IV collagen α1(IV)2α2(IV)1 heterotrimers, which are ubiquitous in basement membranes, α3/α4/α5 have a ...

Basement membrane and blood–brain barrier

Stroke and vascular neurology, 2018
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly complex and dynamic structure, mainly composed of brain microvascular endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes and the basement membrane (BM).

Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease superimposed on membranous nephropathy: a case report and review of the literature

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2010
Introduction Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by pulmonary hemorrhage, crescentic glomerulonephritis and the presence of circulating anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies.

Basement membrane regulates fibronectin organization using sliding focal adhesions driven by a contractile winch

bioRxiv, 2019
We have discovered that basement membrane and its major components can induce rapid, strikingly robust fibronectin organization. In this new matrix assembly mechanism, α5β1 integrin-based focal adhesions slide actively on the underlying matrix towards ...
