{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Basement membrane dynamics in living animals: Insights and pitfalls. {Author}: Stramer BM;Sherwood DR; {Journal}: J Cell Biol {Volume}: 223 {Issue}: 7 {Year}: 2024 Jul 1 {Factor}: 8.077 {DOI}: 10.1083/jcb.202402113 {Abstract}: Recent studies with fluorophore-tagged basement membrane (BM) components have led to remarkable discoveries about BMs but also inconsistent interpretations. Here, we review types of BM dynamics, discuss how we conduct and interpret fluorophore-tagged BM studies, and highlight experimental conditions that are important to consider.
