Strial marginal cells play a role in basement membrane homeostasis: In vitro and in vivo evidence

The interaction of extracellular matrix and receptors plays a role in tissue homeostasis. The thickened strial capillary basement membrane (SCBM) reported in animal models of presbycusis and Alport’s syndrome might be secondary to elevated synthesis and/or decreased turnover of specific basement mem...
