Sometimes, it fragments, leaving scattered cottony patches over a membranous-tomentose basement layer.

The night before, the tunnel-boring machine had punched through the bottom of the basement layer- the second stratum of the earth's crust.

Keratinocyte stem cells in the epithelial basement layer can maintain papillomavirus genomes for decades.

We know that the crust is composed of three layers- the sediment layer, the basement layer, and the oceanic layer.

This type of landscape typically has a shallow basement layer such as bedrock, hardpan, claypan, or densely bedded gravel.

In the case of the Southern North Sea Basin the Carboniferous can be considered as part of the basement layer.

He zeroed in on the bladder's basement layer of cells, just as one of biology's foremost cultivators of cells, Dr. Howard Green, had done in the 1970's with skin.

Dr. Paul Somerville and Joanne Yoshimura, seismologists at Woodward-Clyde Consultants, a geochemical engineering firm in Pasadena, said earthquake waves reflected off a basement layer of rocks were focused upward toward the Bay Area, delivering an extra punch.

The part that lines the bottom of the tissue is called the basement membrane.

The two layers are collectively known as the basement membrane.

Most patients with thin basement membrane disease need only reassurance.

Overall, most people with thin basement membrane disease have an excellent prognosis.

The protein interacts with several other components of basement membranes.

It is often confused with the basement membrane, and sometimes used inconsistently in the literature, see below.

Mechanical and chemical stress can damage basement membranes or the cells they support.

Each bud is separated from the ectomesenchyme by a basement membrane.

Samoyeds can be affected by basement membrane disease of the kidneys.

The basement membrane is also essential for angiogenesis (development of new blood vessels).

Some diseases result from a poorly functioning basement membrane.

The epithelial cells attach to and organize themselves around a basement membrane.

The antiangiogenic effect may be an inhibition of basement membrane degradation.

They are always situated within the basement membrane, which surrounds the entire follicle.

A kidney biopsy is the only way to diagnose thin basement membrane disease.

It stains for basement membrane and is widely used in the investigation of medical kidney diseases.

This will cause thinning and splitting of the glomerular basement membrane.

This in turn may allow cancer cells to cross the basement membrane and invade surrounding tissues.

The self-assembly and tight network formation by laminin-111 are essential for holding the basement membrane together.

They attach the epithelial cell to the basement membrane.

Once through the endothelium, the leukocyte must penetrate the basement membrane.

In adulthood, the basement membrane provides an anchor to which cells and tissues adhere.

Cells most distant from the basement membrane showed no staining (white arrowhead).

They provide mechanical coupling between the basement membrane and the mechanosensory hair cells.

The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis by a basement membrane.
