Extracellular matrix penetration by epithelial cells is influenced by quantitative changes in basement membrane components and growth factors.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously shown that isolated mouse fetal choroid plexus epithelial (CPE) cells penetrate a basement membrane matrix (Matrigel) substrate in vitro to form single-layered epithelial vesicles embedded within the matrix. To determine which properties of the matrix are important for inducing or permitting cells to penetrate the substrate and organize into multicellular vesicles we have made quantitative...
