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...
