Adhesion to collagens by most cell types is mediated by the integrins a1b1 and a2b1. Both integrin a subunits belong to a group which is characterized by the presence of an I domain in the N-terminal half of the molecule, and this domain has been implicated in the ligand recognition. Since purified

Cyclic strain has been shown to modulate endothelial cell (EC) morphology, proliferation, and function. We have recently reported that the focal adhesion proteins focal adhesion kinase (pp125 FAK ) and paxillin, are tyrosine phosphorylated in EC exposed to strain and these events regulate the morpho
## Abstract MCF‐ 10A is a spontaneously immortalized, non‐transformed human mammary epithelial cell line. We have recently obtained MCF‐ 10A clones (MCF‐ 1OA HE cells) that are transformed following over‐expression of both a human point‐mutated c‐Ha‐__ras__ and the c‐__erb__B‐2 proto‐oncogenes. Two
## Abstract The ErbB family of receptor kinases is composed of four members: epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ErbB1), ErbB2/neu, ErbB3, and ErbB4. Amplification of the ErbB2/neu is found in about 30% of breast cancer patients and is associated with a poor prognosis. Heregulin (HRG) activates
## Abstract The authors have previously demonstrated that α~2~β~1~ integrin‐mediated pancreatic cancer cell adhesion to Type I collagen is Mg^2+^‐dependent, inhibited by Ca^2+^, and that this integrin, purified from cell lysates using Type I‐collagen‐sepharose in Mg^2+^, can be eluted with Ca^2+^.
