Abstract excerpt
Cell adhesion and migration are essential for embryonic development, tissue regeneration, but also for tumor development. The physical link between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the actin cytoskeleton is mainly mediated by receptors of the integrin family. Through signals transduced upon integrin ligation to ECM proteins, this family of proteins plays key roles in regulating tumor growth and metastasis as...
