Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies demonstrated that reexpression of the alpha2beta1 integrin by a poorly differentiated breast carcinoma cell line, Mm5MT, resulted in dramatic reversion of a malignant phenotype to a differentiated epithelial phenotype. We hypothesized that reexpression of the alpha2beta1 inte...
