Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired mechanical stability, migration and contractile capacity in vimentin-deficient fibroblasts

TL;DR: Absence of a vimentin filament network does not impair basic cellular functions needed for growth in culture, but cells are mechanically less stable, and it is proposed that therefore they are impaired in all functions depending upon mechanical stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrin recognition of different cell-binding fragments of laminin (P1, E3, E8) and evidence that alpha 6 beta 1 but not alpha 6 beta 4 functions as a major receptor for fragment E8.

TL;DR: The data indicate that distinct integrin receptors belonging to the beta 1 or beta 3 subfamily are involved in adhesion of cells to the various laminin fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI

The laminin family

TL;DR: Laminins are large molecular weight glycoproteins constituted by the assembly of three disulfide-linked polypeptides, the α, β and γ chains that are indispensable building blocks for cellular networks physically bridging the intracellular and extracellular compartments and relaying signals critical for cellular behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kalinin is more efficient than laminin in promoting adhesion of primary keratinocytes and some other epithelial cells and has a different requirement for integrin receptors.

TL;DR: Results suggest that kalinin may fulfill additional functions than laminin, particularly for epithelial cells, including primary human keratinocytes.
