Basement Membrane Structure

Basement Membrane Structure is a specialized extracellular matrix architecture that serves as a thin, sheet-like scaffold demarcating epithelial, endothelial, and mesenchymal cell layers by providing structural support, cell adhesion sites, and selective permeability barriers through its unique composition of laminin, type IV collagen, nidogen, and perlecan.
