An eGFP-Col4a2 mouse model reveals basement membrane dynamics underlying hair follicle morphogenesis
Wuergezhen D, Gindroz E, Morita R, Hashimoto K, Abe T, Kiyonari H, et al.
J Cell Biol
. 2024 Dec;
224(2).
PMID: 39656438
Precisely controlled remodeling of the basement membrane (BM) is crucial for morphogenesis, but its molecular and tissue-level dynamics, underlying mechanisms, and functional significance in mammals remain largely unknown due to...
