Laminin concentration in ascites of patients with hepatic cirrhosis and peritoneal carcinomatosis [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 Laminin levels in ascitic fluid have been proposed as a marker for neoplastic ascites. We compared the concentration of laminin in serum and in ascitic fluid from patients with hepatic cirrhosis and peritoneal carcinomatosis and assessed the diagnostic ...

Analysis of nidogen-1/laminin γ1 interaction by cross-linking, mass spectrometry, and computational modeling reveals multiple binding modes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We describe the detailed structural investigation of nidogen-1/laminin γ1 complexes using full-length nidogen-1 and a number of laminin γ1 variants. The interactions of nidogen-1 with laminin variants γ1 LEb2-4, γ1 LEb2-4 N836D, γ1 short arm, and γ1 ...

Stable, covalent attachment of laminin to microposts improves the contractility of mouse neonatal cardiomyocytes. [PDF]
, 2014 The mechanical output of contracting cardiomyocytes, the muscle cells of the heart, relates to healthy and disease states of the heart. Culturing cardiomyocytes on arrays of elastomeric microposts can enable inexpensive and high-throughput studies of ...

Effect of laminin 332 on motility and invasion in bladder cancer
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013 We examined the correlation between laminin 332 and malignancy in bladder cancer patients, and, using a strain of invasive bladder cancer cells, determined whether laminin 332 causes bladder cancer motility and invasion.

Laminin heparin-binding peptides bind to several growth factors and enhance diabetic wound healing
Nature Communications, 2018 Laminin, as a key component of the basement membrane extracellular matrix (ECM), regulates tissue morphogenesis. Here, we show that multiple laminin isoforms promiscuously bind to growth factors (GFs) with high affinity, through their heparin-binding ...
