Interactions between fibronectin fragments, proteases and the β6 integrin in the control of epithelial cell behaviour

Epithelial cells interact with their surrounding extracellular matrix via integrin receptors. Signals generated in this way control epithelial cell migration, proliferation and apoptosis. Changes in the extracellular matrix, integrin expression and protease secretion occur in wound healing and cance...
