Did you mean Basement Membrane?

Glossary Basement Membrane

thin layer separating epithelial cells from underlying connective tissue

The basement membrane is a thin, fibrous layer that lies between the epithelial cells (which line surfaces and cavities of organs) and the underlying connective tissue. It provides structural support, acts as a barrier to regulate the movement of cells and molecules, and plays a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. In the context of hair, the basement membrane surrounds hair follicles, helping to anchor them in place and maintain their structure.

This study reveals that basement membrane composition and structure in mouse hair follicles are specialized for distinct inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 being essential for maintaining these interfaces.

research Basement membrane components define the microenvironment of aggregated fibroblasts in the skin and support their aggregation in vitro

March 2026 in “Mendeley Data”

This study found that human dermal papilla cells are embedded in a basement membrane-like extracellular matrix, which is essential for their aggregation and function, as supported by evidence that Matrigel enhances dermal papilla cohesion and gene expression compared to collagen I, which promotes cell dispersion.

research Basement membrane components define the microenvironment of aggregated fibroblasts in the skin and support their aggregation in vitro

September 2025 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study found that human dermal papilla cells are surrounded by a basement membrane-like extracellular matrix, which maintains their aggregated structure without strong cell‒cell contacts.
