Structure and Function of Basement Membrane.
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1982 Progress has been made in identifying and characterizing basement membrane macromolecules, including type IV collagen, laminin, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan and bullous pemphigoid antigen. Basement membrane contains a unique collagen, type IV collagen, which is formed of pro alpha 1(IV) (Mr = 185,000) and pro alpha 2(IV) (Mr = 170,000) chains.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.The collagen nanofiber (CNF) gel supports cancer cell culture, exhibiting cell morphology and cancer‐related protein expression similar to Matrigel. It offers a higher collagen concentration than commercial gels. Additionally, the CNF gel allows replication of the high elasticity of in vivo cancer tissue by controlling collagen fiber sizes, ranging ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A nanofiber‐supported decellularized extracellular matrix (NaDE) membrane recreates key biochemical and mechanical features of native intestinal tissue. This platform enables the formation of a more physiologically relevant intestinal epithelium, enhancing stem cell maintenance and promoting diverse cell differentiation.

Expression of basement membrane laminin in oral squamous cell carcinomas
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2007 Summary: The basement membrane is a dynamic structure that undergoes quantitative and qualitative changes during the progression of squamous cell carcinoma, which is essencially important in tumoral invasion and metastasis.

Functional consequences of cell type-restricted expression of laminin α5 in mouse placental labyrinth and kidney glomerular capillaries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The labyrinth is the highly vascularized part of the rodent placenta that allows efficient transfer of gases, nutrients, wastes, and other molecules between the maternal and embryonic circulations. These two blood compartments are separated by blastocyst-

Kidney International, 1992 Basement membranes are heterogeneous, highly specialized, electron-dense structures constructed from components of extracellular matrix proteins 20 to 200nm in width. They provide anchorage for adjacent cells as well as stimuli for cell differentiation, cell migration, and cell phenotype.

A 3D Human Neuron‐on‐Chip Platform to Monitor Neuronal Injury Responses
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a novel 3D Neuron‐on‐Chip model that can maintain human PSC‐derived excitatory prefrontal cortex neurons in 3D hydrogels and can be used to monitor neuronal injury responses over time. Results show injury‐induced acute neuronal excitotoxicity, declining neuronal connectivity, and the activation of a neurodegenerative, SASP‐like ...

Beyond classical collagen: basement membrane collagen IV in age-associated lung diseases
European Respiratory ReviewChronic lung diseases such as COPD, asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and pulmonary hypertension are characterised by aberrant remodelling and degradation of the extracellular matrix.
