Abstract excerpt
Integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions play important roles in regulating cell function. Since transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) modulates many osteoblast activities, we hypothesized that the growth factor acts in part by modulating integrin expression. TGF-beta increased cell adhesion to vitronectin and up-regulated the surface level of alpha(v)beta(5) via increasing beta(5) protein synthesis by a...
