Capillary Basal Lamina Thickening
Thickening of basal lamina' (BL) which occurs with advancing age (1) and various diseases (4, 7, 10) is most common and severe in patients with diabetes mellitus (2, 8, 6, 12, 14) . The reasons, for. and the mechanism of this thickening have thus far escaped satisfactory explanation . In this communication, we wish to provide new evidence which elucidates the development of thick BL and which d...
متن کاملBasal lamina formation on thyroid epithelia in separated follicles in suspension culture
When thyroid follicles are isolated by collagenase treatment of minced thyroid lobes, the basal lamina around each follicle is removed. The basal lamina does not reform when follicles are cultured in suspension in Coon's modified Ham's F-12 medium containing, in addition, 0.5% calf serum, insulin, transferrin, and thyrotropin. We have added acid soluble collagen and/or laminin to see if they wo...
متن کاملInduction of a specialized muscle basal lamina at chimaeric synapses in culture.
To identify mechanisms that regulate the formation of the neuromuscular junction, we examined the cellular origin of a heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) that becomes highly concentrated within the synaptic cleft during the initial deposition of the junctional basal lamina. Using cultured nerve and muscle cells from anuran and urodele embryos, we prepared species-chimaeric synapses that displa...
متن کاملRemoval of the basal lamina in vivo reveals growth cone-basal lamina adhesive interactions and axonal tension in grasshopper embryos.
The Ti1 afferent neurons are the first cells to undergo axonogenesis in embryonic grasshopper limbs. The Ti1 growth cones migrate between the limb epithelium and its basal lamina. We have investigated the nature of growth conebasal lamina interactions in vivo by removing the basal lamina with mild enzymatic digestion. Treatment with elastase, ficin, or papain removes the basal lamina when viewe...
متن کاملThe behavior of optic axons on substrate gradients of retinal basal lamina proteins and merosin.
To study the behavior of optic axons to continuously changing concentrations of their substrate, explants from embryonic retina were placed across gradients of retinal basal lamina proteins and merosin. The following growth patterns of axons in response to the substrate gradients were found: (1) Axons that grew up gradients, i.e., from low to high substrate concentrations, became longer and les...
