From: Basement membranes’ role in immune cell recruitment to the central nervous system
Simplified schematic of the vascular tree in the central nervous system shows the varied expression of laminin chain isoforms between pial arteries, penetrating arterioles, capillaries and postcapillary venules. A simplified schematic of the BM-BM linkage is shown for visualisation purposes but note that it is not biologically accurate; given that the parenchymal and endothelial BM may make contact. A general basement membrane is given to exhibit the core basement membrane components
