8 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
In the skin epidermis, adhesion to the underlying basement membrane is mediated through trans-membrane integrin receptors. In addition to a structural role, integrins can signal in a bi-directional manner though the membrane and thus play a crucial role in cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation.
