Molecular composition and function of integrin-based collagen glues-introducing COLINBRIs.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite detailed knowledge about the structure and signaling properties of individual collagen receptors, much remains to be learned about how these receptors participate in linking cells to fibrillar collagen matrices in tissues. In addition to collagen-binding integrins, a group of proteins with affinity both for fibrillar collagens and integrins link these two protein families together. We have...
