The 22 pages that link to Basement membrane, each with the reason it gives.

• Blood–brain barrierRelated: It surrounds brain endothelial cells and anchors associated support cells.

• Extracellular matrixBroader topic: It is a distinct matrix form beneath epithelia and around blood vessels.

• EpidermisRelated: It marks and supports the boundary between the epidermis and dermis.

• CapillaryRelated: It supports capillary endothelial cells and contributes to the vessel's filtration barrier.

• DermisRelated: It marks the boundary between the epidermis and the dermis.

• Endothelial cellRelated: It supports endothelial cells and helps define the vessel wall’s filtration properties.

• Mucous membraneRelated: It forms the interface between mucosal epithelium and its supporting tissue.

• PericyteRelated: Pericytes share this vessel-associated matrix with endothelial cells and are embedded within it.

• Epithelial cellsRelated: It provides the substrate to which epithelial cells attach and across which they exchange signals.

• MicrocirculationRelated: It supports capillary walls and contributes to the tissue-specific exchange barrier.

• DysplasiaRelated: Its integrity distinguishes intraepithelial abnormalities from invasive carcinoma.

• ProteoglycanRelated: Proteoglycans such as perlecan contribute to its filtration and signaling functions.

• Glomerular basement membraneNarrower topic: The glomerular membrane is a specialized basement membrane with distinctive composition and function.

• GlomerulonephritisRelated: The glomerular basement membrane is a central target in some forms of disease.

• EpitheliumRelated: It anchors epithelial sheets and marks their boundary with connective tissue.

• Blood-nerve barrierRelated: Basement membranes support the barrier’s vascular and perineurial cellular layers.

• Acinar cellsRelated: It supports acini and helps separate their secretory cells from surrounding stroma.

• Respiratory mucosaRelated: It anchors the respiratory epithelium above the mucosa’s connective tissue.

• Urbach–Wiethe diseaseRelated: ECM1 interacts with basement-membrane structures that become abnormal in the disease.

• Blood–air barrierBroader topic: Alveolar and capillary basement membranes often fuse into a narrow diffusion path.

• HomosclerophoridaRelated: Its presence beneath cell layers is a distinctive feature of homoscleromorph sponges.

• Parenchymal tissue (animal organs)Related: It marks an interface between many parenchymal cells and their underlying support.
