...E. Murata; M. Akita; K. Kaneko; H.-J. Merker We examined the changes in the morphology of the basal lamina of the colon, abdominal wall and tail muscles of tadpoles during metamorphosis and compared our results to those previously obtained for the small intestine. At the early stage of metamophic...

...P. Köpf-Maier; M. Flug Immunohistochemical localizations of the intrinsic basal lamina (BL) components laminin-1 and type IV collagen, the adhesion molecules type VII collagen and laminin receptor (a 6 p, integrin), and the type IV collagenase (72 kDa, MMP2) were analyzed in carcinomas of the mouse...

...E. Murata; H.J. Merker Further investigations of the epithelial and mesothelial basal lamina of the duodenum of Xenopus laevis during metamorphosis were performed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and histochemical techniques using polyethyleneimine (PEI) to demonstrate anionic sites...

...A.M. Safer; E. Katchburian Kidney samples of the camel Camelus dromedarius were aldehyde fixed and glycerol impregnated for ultrathin-section and freeze-fracture studies of the basal lamina. Results obtained show the presence of extracellular membrane-bound bodies within the thick basal lamina...

... basal lamina, which is finely pleated. Fenestrations of the basal lamina with a diameter of 0.5–1 µm were found frequently at the surface region, but less frequently in the crypts. Fenestrations with diameters larger than 2 µm were never observed. After the distension experiments and long-time...

...Edward E. Manche; Gary E. Korte Several investigators have recently presented ultrastructural evidence for remodelling in the mammalian, including human, choriocapillaris. This evidence consists of cytoplasmic processes off endothelium and pericytes that penetrate the basal lamina of the capillary...
