Abstract excerpt
Wound healing requires fibroblast migration. Increased pressure slows migration and ulcer healing. Pressure also induces beta1 integrin phosphorylation. We hypothesized that beta1 phosphorylation influences cell adhesion and migration. We compared the effects of increased pressure on the adhesion and motility of GD25 beta1-integrin null fibroblasts transfected with wild-type beta1A-integrin, S785A or TT788/9AA...
