Laminin and fibronectin are glycoproteins that influence cell behavior and mediate cell/substratum adhesion. We have examined the interaction of these macromolecules with the serine protease plasminogen activator (PA) in two types of extracellular matrices; one produced by the murine Engelbreth-Holm
Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-1 ), which is present in lung tissue, has been suggested to play a role in modulating vascular cell function in vivo. The action of TGF-1 in vivo, especially at the local site of application to connective tissue, is anabolic and leads to pulmonary fibrosis and
