The interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix plays a critical role in morphogenesis and cell differentiation. To define how Schwann cells might interact with the extracellular matrix, we chose to study the expression of the laminin/collagen receptor alpha1beta1 integrin during nerve develo

The factors that determine the metastatic behavior of pancreatic tumor cells are incompletely understood. In this study, we first demonstrate differences in adhesion properties, integrin expression and in vivo integrin function in the metastatic tumor cell line PaTu 8988s compared with the non-metas
Gliomas, characterized by their progressively invasive phenotype, express integrin ␣31 as a major receptor for the extracellular matrix both in vivo and in vitro. Since the integrin ␣31 has been shown to be a specific receptor for laminin-5 (␣33␥2), we examined the effects of purified human lamin
Long-term administration of pharmacological doses of glucocorticoids inhibits bone formation and results in osteoporosis. Since integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions are essential for osteoblast function, we hypothesized that the detrimental effect of glucocorticoids on bone derived, at least i
