Abstract excerpt
Human fibroblasts with mutated type I collagen have marked defective adhesive capacities on exogenous type I collagen and exogenous fibronectin in comparison to normal fibroblasts. This defective cell adhesion could be partly explained by the decreased level of cell surface receptors of the beta 1-integrin family, i.e., the alpha 2 integrin subunit for type I collagen and the alpha 5 integrin subunit for...
