Advances in the effect of NC1 domain of type Ⅳ collagen on spermatogenesis and blood-testis barrier [PDF]
In mammalian testis, the blood-testis barrier (BTB), located near the basement membrane of seminiferous epithelium, is essential for spermatogenesis.

The time-dependent rearrangement of the epithelial basement membrane in human skin wounds [PDF]
In 62 human skin wounds (surgical wounds, stab wounds and lacerations after surgical treatment) we analyzed the immunohistochemical localization of collagen IV in the epithelial basement membrane.

The Bi-Functional Organization of Human Basement Membranes [PDF]
The current basement membrane (BM) model proposes a single-layered extracellular matrix (ECM) sheet that is predominantly composed of laminins, collagen IVs and proteoglycans.

"Caenorhabditis elegans" TEN-1 is essential for basement membrane function [PDF]
Teneurins are large transmembrane proteins playing fundamental roles in development. They are highly expressed in the developing and adult nervous system in distinct layers, often in interconnected regions of the brain, where they were proposed to have ...

Atypical basement membranes and basement membrane diversity – what is normal anyway?
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 ...

Basement membrane-rich Organoids with functional human blood vessels are permissive niches for human breast cancer metastasis [PDF]
Metastasic breast cancer is the leading cause of death by malignancy in women worldwide. Tumor metastasis is a multistep process encompassing local invasion of cancer cells at primary tumor site, intravasation into the blood vessel, survival in systemic ...

THE HISTOGENESIS OF BASEMENT MEMBRANES [PDF]
A parietal yolk sac carcinoma of the mouse that secretes large quantities of basement membrane-like material has been used to study the formation of basement membranes. Suitably characterized fluorescein-labeled antibodies against this material stained basement membranes of epithelial structures and vessels, as well as reticulin.
