Abstract excerpt
We present genetic evidence that integrins regulate epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during organogenesis. Mice with a mutation in the alpha8 gene do not express the integrin alpha8 beta1 and exhibit profound deficits in kidney morphogenesis. In wild-type animals, inductive interactions betwee...
