Spatial and temporal changes in extracellular elastin and laminin distribution during lung alveolar development [PDF]
, 2018 Lung alveolarization requires precise coordination of cell growth with extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and deposition. The role of extracellular matrices in alveogenesis is not fully understood, because prior knowledge is largely extrapolated from ...

Review: Dystroglycan in the Nervous System [PDF]
, 2007 Dystroglycan is part of a large complex of proteins, the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies for a long time.

A biomimetic kidney tubule model [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A critical barrier in the nephrology field is the lack of appropriate in vitro renal tubule models that allow manipulation of various mechanical factors, facilitating studies of disease pathophysiology and drug discovery. Here we report development of a novel in vitro assay system comprised of a renal tubule within an elasto-plastic extracellular ...

Epithelial organization and cyst lumen expansion require efficient Sec13-Sec31-driven secretion [PDF]
, 2012 Epithelial morphogenesis is directed by interactions with the underlying extracellular matrix. Secretion of collagen and other matrix components requires efficient coat complex II (COPII) vesicle formation at the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we show that

Further biochemical characterization of Mycobacterium leprae laminin-binding proteins
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001 It has been demonstrated that the alpha2 chain of laminin-2 present on the surface of Schwann cells is involved in the process of attachment of Mycobacterium leprae to these cells. Searching for M. leprae laminin-binding molecules, in a previous study we

A synaptic nidogen: developmental regulation and role of nidogen-2 at the neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2008 Background: The skeletal neuromuscular junction is a useful model for elucidating mechanisms that regulate synaptogenesis. Developmentally important intercellular interactions at the neuromuscular junction are mediated by the synaptic portion of a basal ...

Cranial and trunk neural crest cells use different mechanisms for attachment to extracellular matrices [PDF]
, 1992 We have used a quantitative cell attachment assay to compare the interactions of cranial and trunk neural crest cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules fibronectin, laminin and collagen types I and IV.
