Laminins (Lm) are major components of basement membranes (BM), which polymerize to form a planar lattice on cell surface. Genetic alternations of Lm affect their oligomerization patterns and lead to failures in BM assembly manifesting in a group of h...
PURPOSE: To construct a quantitative evaluation system for hand tremor during internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and investigate changes in hand tremor attributable to the use of the customized passive surgical support robot.
BACKGROUND: Periodontitis is among the most prevalent inflammatory conditions and greatly impacts oral health. This study aimed to elucidate the role of basement membrane-related genes in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of periodontitis.
This study investigates the role of basement membrane-related genes in kidney fibrosis, a significant factor in the progression of chronic kidney disease that can lead to end-stage renal failure. The authors aim to develop a predictive model using ma...
