Abstract excerpt
Development of human fetal airways requires interaction of the respiratory epithelium and the extracellular matrix through integrins. Nevertheless, the specific roles of beta(1)-integrins during development and tubular morphogenesis are still unknown. To analyze beta(1)-integrin localization and influence during migration, we developed a model of human fetal tracheal explants growing on collagen and overlaid with...
