Abstract excerpt
Keratinocyte migration is an absolute requirement for correct epithelialization during the process of wound healing. This process requires changes in extracellular matrix ligand expression as well as changes in ligand-binding affinity of the corresponding cellular integrins. In this study, we attempt to understand the role of laminin 5 in migration by investigating the integrin-mediated interactions of migrating...
