Integrins in regulation of tissue development and function
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Cell adhesion is indispensable for embryonic development and for proper tissue function. In metazoans, integrins are the major adhesion receptors that connect cells to components of the extracellular matrix. Integrins are implicated in assembly of extracellular matrices, cell adhesion and migration on extracellular matrices, and in vertebrates (in which the integrin family has expanded) they can also mediate...
