Basement membranes’ role in immune cell recruitment to the central nervous system

Abstract excerpt

Basement membranes form part of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is the structural basis for all tissue. Basement membranes are cell-adherent sheets found between cells and vascular endothelia, including those of the central nervous system (CNS). There is exceptional regional specialisation of these structures, both in tissue organisation and regulation of tissue-specific cellular processes. Due to their...
