S Ihara, EJ Hagedorn, MA Morrissey, Q Chi… - Nature Cell …, 2011 - nature.com Large gaps in basement membrane occur at sites of cell invasion and tissue remodelling in development and cancer. Though never followed directly in vivo, basement membrane dissolution or reduced synthesis have been postulated to create these gaps. Using landmark photobleaching ... Cited by 1 - All 3 versions
H Fujiwara, M Ferreira, G Donati, DK Marciano… - Cell, 2011 - Elsevier The hair follicle bulge in the epidermis associates with the arrector pili muscle (APM) that is responsible for piloerection (“goosebumps”). We show that stem cells in the bulge deposit nephronectin into the underlying basement membrane, thus regulating the adhesion of mesenchymal cells ... Related articles - All 2 versions
SS Mok, D Losic, CJ Barrow, BJ Turner… - Journal of …, 2011 - deakin.edu.au Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major feature of Alzheimer's disease pathology. In CAA, degeneration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) occurs close to regions of the basement membrane where the amyloid protein (Aβ) builds up. In this study, the possibility that Aβ ...

AI Kinnunen, R Sormunen, H Elamaa… - Journal of Biological …, 2011 - ASBMB Collagen XVIII is characterized by three variant N termini, an interrupted collagenous domain, and a C-terminal antiangiogenic domain known as endostatin. We studied here the roles of this collagen type and its variant isoforms in the mouse kidney. Collagen XVIII ... Cited by 1 - Related articles - All 4 versions
JH Miner - Pediatric Nephrology, 2011 - Springer Abstract The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) is an especially thick basement membrane that contributes impor- tantly to the kidney's filtration barrier. The GBM derives from the fusion of separate podocyte and endothelial cell basement membranes during ... Cited by 1 - Related articles - All 2 versions
