Abstract excerpt
The two Drosophila position-specific (PS) integrins are expressed on complementary sides of sites where different cell layers adhere to each other, such as the attachments of the embryonic muscles to the epidermis. While there is suggestive evidence that the PS integrin-mediated adhesion is via the extracellular matrix, it is also possible that it occurs through the direct interaction of the two integrins, alpha...
