Dynamic Regulation of the Structure and Functions of Integrin Adhesions

TL;DR: Integrin-mediated environmental sensing enables cells to adapt to chemical and physical properties of the surrounding matrix by modulating their proliferation, differentiation, and survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

The alpha 1-alpha 6 subunits of integrins are characteristically expressed in distinct segments of developing and adult human nephron.

TL;DR: The present results suggest that distinct integrins play a role during differentiation of specific nephron segments and indicate that alpha 3 beta 1 and alpha 6 beta 1 integrin complexes may function as basement membrane receptors in podocytes and tubular epithelial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induced expression of syndecan in healing wounds.

TL;DR: The results suggest that syndecan may have a unique and important role as a cell adhesion and a growth factor-binding molecule not only during embryogenesis but also during tissue regeneration in mature tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a Bone Sialoprotein Receptor in Osteosarcoma Cells

TL;DR: Results show that BSP is recognized by an RGD-directed receptor and that both vitronectin and BSP can bind to this receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

The function of the neurogenic genes during epithelial development in the Drosophila embryo.

TL;DR: The complex embryonic phenotype of the six neurogenic mutations Notch, mastermind, big brain, Delta, Enhancer of split and neuralized was analyzed by using different antibodies and PlacZ markers, which allowed us to label most of the known embryonic tissues.

Arg-Gly-Asp: a versatile cell recognition signal.

Erkki Ruoslahti, +1 more
- 28 Feb 1986 - 
TL;DR: The RGD sequence as a basic unit of a widespread cellular recognition system is established and the same peptides also inhibit the attachment of fibroblasts to a number of other proteins, including vitronectin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of plasma membrane fibronectin receptor with talin—a transmembrane linkage

TL;DR: The interaction of the purified CSAT antigen with these cytoskeletal components is investigated, and an interaction specifically between theCSAT antigen and talin is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leukocyte adhesion deficiency: an inherited defect in the Mac-1, LFA-1, and p150,95 glycoproteins.

TL;DR: Recognition of the molecular pathogenesis of this disorder has allowed rich insights into the role of cellular adherence reactions in inflammation and host defense.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and isolation of a 140 kd cell surface glycoprotein with properties expected of a fibronectin receptor

TL;DR: Affinity chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose showed that the 140 kd protein is a glycoprotein and, in combination with the fibronectin fragment chromatography, gave highly enriched preparations of the 140Kd protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa: member of a family of Arg-Gly-Asp--specific adhesion receptors

TL;DR: The results establish the existence of a family of adhesion receptors that recognize the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, which corresponds to the cell adhesion site in fibronectin and is also present in the alpha chain of fibrinogen.
