Basement membrane dynamics in living animals: Insights and pitfalls.
Brian Stramer, David R. Sherwood
Abstract
Recent studies with fluorophore-tagged basement membrane (BM) components have led to remarkable discoveries about BMs but also inconsistent interpretations. Here, we review types of BM dynamics, discuss how we conduct and interpret fluorophore-tagged BM studies, and highlight experimental conditions that are important to consider.
