... cells and to the extracellular matrix (a part of tissue that is not part of any cell). Integrins also are involved in transforming or translating cell signals.
In looking for the receptor, Estes and ...
Integrin inhibitors are being investigated to treat cancer, but new research suggests they could actually promote tumour growth
... when VLA-4 is engaged. "By altering the movement of actin within the cell, the integrin is collaborating with the antigen receptor to immobilize these complexes and make them survive over time," says ...
... the RGD peptide sequence as well as new sections also known to have sites that participate in integrin binding.
To evaluate the in vivo performance of the coated titanium in bone healing, chemists ...
... that the nanoparticle carrying a payload of chemotherapy homes in on a protein marker called integrin ανβ3 – found on the surface of certain tumor blood vessels where it is associated with development ...
... (FSC)—one type of ovary stem cell—drifted away from their niche when they carried mutant integrins.
These breakaway cells were abnormally shaped, divided more slowly than normal, and displayed some ...
... able to disrupt it," said Takada. "Now that we know more about how this protein interacts with these integrins, researchers can be much more successful in screening potential drugs that can block the ...
... in tumor cells. On 2D surfaces, cells may migrate randomly, or be strongly unidirectional. Integrins, which link the cell to the extracellular matrix, are known to influence the mode of migration, ...
... could be designed that inhibit the ClfA–Fg interaction but do not interfere with the interaction of Fg with the platelet integrin, therefore avoiding unwanted side effects on the circulatory system.
... . Further analysis indicated that alpha-3 integrin was required for the formation of the pY654–beta-catenin/ ... COMMENTARY TITLE: Role for alpha-3 integrin in EMT and pulmonary fibrosis

... , recombinant human activated protein C (rhAPC), has its effect by interfering with specific integrins on neutrophil surfaces, which keeps the cells from moving. Importantly, they also learned that a ...
... in B cells with a version that lacked one or the other of these two functions, they discovered that the integrin-binding domain of this protein is required, but the amino acid transport function is ...
