Abstract excerpt
Fibrinogen interactions with vascular endothelial cells are implicated in various physiological and pathophysiological events, including angiogenesis and wound healing. We have shown previously that integrin alpha(5)beta(1) is a fibrinogen receptor on endothelial cells [Suehiro, K., Gailit, J., and Plow, E.F. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 5360-5366]. In the present study, we have characterized fibrinogen...
