Beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion signalling is essential for epidermal progenitor cell expansion.

Beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion signalling is essential for epidermal progenitor cell expansion.

BACKGROUND: There is a major discrepancy between the in vitro and in vivo results regarding the role of beta1 integrins in the maintenance of epidermal stem/progenitor cells. Studies of mice with skin-specific ablation of beta1 integrins suggested that epidermis can form and be maintained in their a...
