Abstract:

The growth of an organism involves the proliferation and migration of cells within an extracellular matrix. As a cell surface receptor, the Dag1 gene product dystroglycan links the intracellular cytoskeleton to the extracellular basement membrane in many cells. Thought to act as a structural protein dystroglycan may also participate in signal transduction. This study aims to better understand the role of dystroglycan during kidney morphogenesis. I hypothesised that a lack of dystroglycan in the precursor cells of the kidney could lead to altered kidney growth. Chimaeric mice deficient in dystr

Antisera to the basement membrane proteins laminin, fibronectin and type IV collagen were prepared, characterized and rendered monospecific by appropriate treatments.

In particular, the use of protease digestion {"unmasking") to allow staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material was studied. The presence and intensity of staining was found to be highly dependent on the protease and the conditions of digestion, the type of baseme

Nephrotic syndrome is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by renal and extra-renal manifestations. Classic symptoms of nephrotic syndrome include severe proteinuria, hypoalbumiaemia, oedema and hyperlipidaemia.

Abstract Type IV collagen is only found in basement membranes, where it is the major structural component, providing a framework for the binding of other basement membrane components and a substratum for cells. The type IV collagen molecule is triple-helical and composed of three a chains which exist as six distinct forms (α1 - α6). Abnormalities in this basement membrane collagen structure and function are connected to both inherited and acquired diseases.

Abstract Laminins are basement membrane glycoproteins consisting of three polypeptide chains α, β and γ.

Laminin-5 has a chain composition of α3β3γ2 with the distribution mainly restricted to epithelial basement membranes, where its biological functions involve anchorage and locomotion of cells. The

Background: Among the common malignancies, pancreatic cancer has the shortest long-term survival. The aggressive, rapid, and infiltrative growth pattern of pancreatic cancer, together with the lack of specific symptoms, often leads to late diagnosis. Metastases are frequently found at the time of diagnosis, which prevents curative surgical treatment. Good tumor markers would enable early detection, thus improving the prognosis. Unfortunately, no such markers are available in the clinic. The tumor stroma is defined as the non-malignant cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) of a cancer. Pancr
