1. Basement membrane components and their receptors in organogenesis
Sammanfattning : During embryogenesis organs are formed from epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Organogenesis is dependent on interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme. Specialized extracellular matrices, basement membranes, located between the two tissue types play a crucial role in mediating the interactions. LÄS MER
2. Basement membrane components in the chondrocyte extracellular matrix
Sammanfattning : The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a network of macromolecules which, together with cells, forms the various tissues of all metazoan organisms. Cartilage, in contrast to most other tissues, contains relatively few cells in proportion to the volume occupied by ECM. LÄS MER
3. Biological roles of laminins 8, 9 and 10
Sammanfattning : In order to form multicellular organisms, cells need attachment, either directly to each other through cell-cell interactions, or indirectly via a complex mixture of macro-molecules called the extracellular matrix. Basement membranes are specialized forms of this matrix. LÄS MER
4. Primary structure, expression and function of laminin [alpha]4
Sammanfattning : Basement membranes (BMs) are thin extracellular sheet-like structures that compartmentalize tissues. They are found beneath epithelia and endothelia, and surrounding individual cells, such as muscle fibers, neurons and adipocytes. Laminins, type IV collagens, perlecan and nidogens are some of the main components of mature basement membranes. LÄS MER
5. Laminins and Fibulins in Bone Marrow
Sammanfattning : Development of hematopoietic cells in bone marrow takes place in association with the hematopoietic microenvironment. Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and stromal cells in bone marrow provide a structural environment for hematopoietic cells, but they also directly influence proliferation, differentiation and migration of cells by signal transduction mediated by ligand binding to cell surface adhesion receptors.
