    TLDR The mTurq2-Col4a1 mouse model shows how the basement membrane develops in live mammals.
    The study introduces an mTurq2-Col4a1 mouse model that enables live visualization of basement membrane (BM) dynamics in mammalian tissues. This model uses the mTurquoise2 fluorescent protein to tag the Col4a1 gene, allowing researchers to observe BM formation and remodeling in real-time. Key findings include the pliability of the BM during cell division and hair follicle morphogenesis, and the high stability of collagen IV within the BM, even during rapid developmental stages. The model provides a valuable tool for studying BM dynamics, with significant implications for understanding tissue development and disease.

      A user is very satisfied with their hair transplant results, despite choosing a straight hairline against the doctor's advice for a more natural look. Some commenters think the hairline looks artificial, while others discuss the importance of a natural-looking hairline and inquire about any medications used post-transplant.
