## Abstract The Schwann cell basal lamina acts as an organizer of peripheral nerve tissue and influences many aspects of cell behavior during development and regeneration. A principal component of the Schwann cell basal lamina is lamininβ2. This study was undertaken to identify Schwann cell recepto
Cell-matrix interactions contribute to regulating the adhesion, growth, migration, and differentiation of epithelial intestinal cells. Alterations in matrix components and their cellular receptors have been found in tumours but their specific roles remain unclear. The tissue patterns of laminin-5 an
Laminins and their receptors influence neoplastic growth and invasiveness. We recently reported the abnormal expression of a laminin receptor, β£6β€4 integrin, in human astrocytomas. To further investigate the role of β£6β€4 in gliomas, we produced an experimental model of glioma in rat by transplacenta
## Abstract Cultured T cells and freshly isolated mononuclear leukocytes are able to bind collagen specifically. These leukocytes express equivalent levels of the integrins VLAβ1, VLAβ2 and VLAβ3 which are collagenβbinding receptors on other cells. However, only solubilized VLAβ2 is able to bind co
A hypothesis is presented that a transduction mechanism for low frequency electric fields of physiological strength ($1 V/cm) is the same as that for sinusoidal fluid shear stresses, the force exerted on an integrin. Simple calculations show that the forces exerted on a model integrin by transverse
