Too much of this enzyme, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), might be causing the disturbance to the basement membrane. An ...

Carbonell, W. S., Ansorge, O., Sibson, N. & Muschel, R. The vascular basement membrane as “soil” in brain metastasis. PLoS One 4, e5857 (2009). An assumption ...

The tumor has now invaded the tissue beyond the basement membrane. Individual cells from the tumor enter into the network of newly formed blood vessels, using these vessels as highways by which ...

The method developed by IBEC's Biomimetic Systems for Cell Engineering group is based on the imprinting of defined patterns of key proteins, such as Wnt3a and EphrinB1, onto a basement membrane.

Results: Amniotic membrane (AM) can function in the eye as a basement membrane substitute or as a temporary graft. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring effects and contains growth factors ...

Laminins are a family of proteins that play a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of basement membranes, which provide structural support to tissues and influence various cellular functions.
