Integrin-Mediated Cell-Matrix Interaction in Physiological and Pathological Blood Vessel Formation
18 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Physiological as well as pathological blood vessel formation are fundamentally dependent on cell-matrix interaction. Integrins, a family of major cell adhesion receptors, play a pivotal role in development, maintenance, and remodeling of the vasculature. Cell migration, invasion, and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are integrin-regulated processes, and the expression of certain integrins also...
