Type IV collagen trimer is a major component of basement membranes (BMs). It is composed of polypeptides named a1(IV)-a6(IV) chains. Chains a1,2(IV) are widely expressed in BMs while a3(IV)-a6(IV) are more restricted in human tissues. We have now studied by immunohistochemical means the distribution

## Abstract ## Background Scirrhous gastric carcinoma is characterized by excessive deposition of collagen in the stroma. However, the clinical significance of this fibrosis of the stomach has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to examine the fibrotic mechanism in several histological t
The malignant dissemination of tumors has been shown to require expression of one or more members of the matrix metalloprotease (MMP) enzyme family, whose function is to catalyze degradation of extracellular matrix proteins. In human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin, expression of the MMP 9
GATA-3 is a zinc-finger transcription factor that is essential for both early T cell development and Th2 cell differentiation. To quantify GATA-3 expression during T cell development in vivo in the mouse, the GATA-3 gene was targeted by insertion of a lacZ reporter by homologous recombination in emb
## Abstract Recent evidence indicates that a major drawback of current cartilageβ and intervertebral disc (IVD) tissue engineering is that human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from patients with osteoarthritis rapidly express type X collagen (COL10A1), a marker of late stage chondrocyte hypertrophy
