Integrin beta1 subunit controls mural cell adhesion, spreading, and blood vessel wall stabilitySabu Abraham
Vascular Development Laboratory, Cancer Research UK London Research Institute, London WC2A 3PX, United Kingdom
Circ Res 102:562-70. 2008..Similarly, mutant pericytes are poorly spread but present in larger numbers. Our analysis of this mutant model shows that integrin beta1-mediated cell-matrix adhesion is a major determinant of the mural cell phenotype...
Ephrin-B2 controls cell motility and adhesion during blood-vessel-wall assemblyShane S Foo
Vascular Development Laboratory, Cancer Research UK London Research Institute, London WC2A 3PX, UK
Cell 124:161-73. 2006..Our results indicate that the role of ephrin-B2 and EphB receptors in these processes involves Crk-p130(CAS) signaling and suggest that ephrin-B2 has some cell-cell-contact-independent functions...
