Abstract excerpt
Laminin comprises α/β/γ subunits and performs tissue-specific functions that control cellular behavior. Laminin-α2 chains are highly expressed in neural components such as glial and Schwann cells and in muscles. Macrophages play important roles in tissue homeostasis and repair, and laminins affect macrophage dynamics. Integrin α7, a transmembrane receptor crucial for regulating cell-matrix interactions, has a...
