Good things come in threes: Distinct <i>C. elegans</i> basement membranes utilize novel collagen IV trimers
The highly conserved basement membrane protein collagen IV is stereotypically composed of two α1 subunits and one α2 subunit. In this issue, Srinivasan et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202412118) show that specific C. elegans basement membranes include collagen IV trimers with other compositions, suggesting a new diversity.
