## Abstract Estrogen effects on mammary gland development and differentiation are mediated by two receptors (ERα and ERβ). Estrogen‐bound ERα induces proliferation of mammary epithelial and cancer cells, while ERβ is important for maintenance of the differentiated epithelium and inhibits proliferat
The maturation of connective tissue involves the organization of collagen fibres by resident fibroblasts. Fibroblast attachment to collagen has been demonstrated to involve cell surface receptors, integrins of the beta 1 family. Integrins are associated with cytoplasmic actin of microfilaments eithe
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
