Cryo-EM reveals the molecular basis oflaminin polymerization and LN-lamininopathies

In this work the authors report the cryo-EM structure of the laminin polymer node and reveal the molecular basis of calcium-dependent formation of laminin lattice. The work provides insights into laminin polymerization defects manifesting in human disease.
