Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions

The basement membrane is located at tissue interfaces, but how it mediates distinct inter-tissue interactions is unclear. Here, the authors systematically define the spatial heterogeneity of skin basement membrane composition and show its functional importance in inter-tissue interactions.
