Abstract excerpt
Cell-matrix interaction through specific adhesion molecules is a critical step during organ development. In addition, down-regulation of cell adhesion receptors may promote tumor invasion and metastasis. We show here that the Wilms tumor suppressor Wt1, which is necessary for normal development of the epicardium, coronary vessels, genitourinary system, and other tissues, activates transcription of the...
