Cellular Interaction of Integrin α3β1 with Laminin 5 Promotes Gap Junctional Communication
14 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Wounding of skin activates epidermal cell migration over exposed dermal collagen and fibronectin and over laminin 5 secreted into the provisional basement membrane. Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been proposed to integrate the individual motile cells into a synchronized colony. We found that outgrowths of human keratinocytes in wounds or epibole cultures display parallel changes in the...
