Abstract excerpt
Cell-matrix interactions and the ordered deposition of basement membrane (BM) components are of major importance for the maintenance of tissue homeostasis in complex epithelia. This aspect was studied in vitro in a coculture system designed as an oral mucosa model. As crucial epithelial features the kinetics of proliferation, expression of site-specific keratins as well as integrin patterns in correlation to...
