Description
This book brings together the most important research developments of the past 45 years that have enriched our knowledge and contributed
to a better understanding of the biochemistry and cell and molecular biology of basement membranes. It describes the studies that shed
light on the ultrastructural organization, the biosynthesis of the macromolecular components, their functions in embryonic development
and differentiation, and in the mature state. A major portion of the book is devoted to the description of the genes that regulate the
expression of the various structural macromolecules.
Audience
Researchers in cell biology, developmental biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, genetics, immunology, immunochemistry, neuroscience,
diabetes, nephrology, embyrology, vascular surgery, cardiology, rheumatology, hematology, bone and joint surgery, cancer research, and
angiogenesis.
