Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease.

American Society of Nephrology. Clinical Journal, 2017
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare small vessel vasculitis that affects the capillary beds of the kidneys and lungs. It is an archetypic autoimmune disease, caused by the development of directly pathogenic autoantibodies ...

Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions

Nature Communications, 2021
The basement membrane is located at tissue interfaces, but how it mediates distinct inter-tissue interactions is unclear. Here, the authors systematically define the spatial heterogeneity of skin basement membrane composition and show its functional ...

Phagocytic properties of lung alveolar wall cells [PDF]

, 1974
For the purpose to define the mechanism of heavy metal intoxication by inhalation, morphologic observations were made on rat lungs after nasal instillation of iron colloid particles of positive and negative electric charges. Histochemical observation was

ER stress and basement membrane defects combine to cause glomerular and tubular renal disease resulting from Col4a1 mutations in mice

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
Collagen IV is a major component of basement membranes, and mutations in COL4A1, which encodes collagen IV alpha chain 1, cause a multisystemic disease encompassing cerebrovascular, eye and kidney defects.

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]

, 1989
Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...

Characterizing the salivary RNA landscape to identify potential diagnostic, prognostic, and follow‐up biomarkers for breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study explores salivary RNA for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up. High‐throughput RNA sequencing identified distinct salivary RNA signatures, including novel transcripts, that differentiate BC from healthy controls, characterize histological and molecular subtypes, and indicate lymph node involvement.

Electron Microscopic and Immunohistochemical Findings of the Epidermal Basement Membrane in Two Families with Nail-patella Syndrome

Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 2019
Nail-patella syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by nail dysplasia and skeletal anomaly. Some patients have been shown to have ultrastructural abnormalities of the glomerular basement membrane that result in nephrosis.

Retinal Proteoglycans Act as Cellular Receptors for Basement Membrane Assembly to Control Astrocyte Migration and Angiogenesis

Cell Reports, 2016
The basement membrane is crucial for cell polarity, adhesion, and motility, but how it is assembled on the cell surface remains unclear. Here, we find that ablation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains of proteoglycans in the neuroretina disrupts the ...
