Focal Adhesions: Transmembrane Junctions Between the Extracellular Matrix and the Cytoskeleton
Many cells grown in tissue culture adhere tightly to the underlying substrate through discrete regions of the plasma membrane, referred to as adhesion plaques, focal contacts, o...
The major laminin receptor of mouse embryonic stem cells is a novel isoform of the alpha 6 beta 1 integrin.
Laminin is the first extracellular matrix protein expressed in the developing mouse embryo. It is known to influence morphogenesis and affect cell migration and polarization. Se...
Morphogenesis of the Polarized Epithelial Cell Phenotype
Polarized epithelial cells play fundamental roles in the ontogeny and function of a variety of tissues and organs in mammals. The morphogenesis of a sheet of polarized epithelia...
Organizing Polarized Delivery of Exosomes at Synapses
Abstract Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that transport different molecules between cells. They are formed and stored inside multivesicular bodies ( MVB ) until they are rel...
Integrins and other cell adhesion molecules
Cell‐cell and cell‐substratum interactions are mediated through several different families of receptors. In addition to targeting cell adhesion to specific extracellular matrix ...
