Integrins and the Myocardium [PDF]
Abstract —Extracellular matrix provides a structural, chemical, and mechanical substrate that is essential in cardiac development, growth, and responses to pathophysiological signals. Transmembrane receptors termed integrins provide a dynamic interaction of environmental cues and intracellular events.

Neuropilin-1/GIPC1 signaling regulates α5β1 integrin traffic and function in endothelial cells [PDF]
Neuropilin 1 (Nrp1) is a coreceptor for vascular endothelial growth factor A165 (VEGF-A165, VEGF-A164 in mice) and semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A). Nevertheless, <i>Nrp1</i> null embryos display vascular defects that differ from those of mice lacking ...
