The linkage between β1 integrin and the actin cytoskeleton is differentially regulated by tyrosine and serine/threonine phosphorylation of β1 integrin in normal and cancerous human breast cells [PDF]
Background Structural requirements for the β1 integrin functions in cell adhesion, spreading and signaling have been well documented mainly for fibroblasts.

β1 integrin–extracellular matrix interactions are essential for maintaining exocrine pancreas architecture and function [PDF]
Integrin receptors are responsible for integrating extracellular matrix signals inside the cell. The most prominent integrin receptor, β1 integrin, has a role in cell function, survival and differentiation. Recently, we demonstrated a profound in vivo role of β1 integrin expression in the pancreas on glucose homeostasis and islet function.

β1 integrin signaling maintains human epithelial progenitor cell survival in situ and controls proliferation, apoptosis and migration of their progeny. [PDF]
β1 integrin regulates multiple epithelial cell functions by connecting cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM). While β1 integrin-mediated signaling in murine epithelial stem cells is well-studied, its role in human adult epithelial progenitor cells ...

Integrin β1 and the Repair after Nervous System Injury
Background: Integrin β1, as a member of the adhesion molecule family, is widely distributed in many kinds of cells and participates in multiple biological functions of the nervous system, including cytoskeleton reorganization, axon growth, and ...

Enhanced Expression of Integrin αvβ3 Induced by TGF-β Is Required for the Enhancing Effect of Fibroblast Growth Factor 1 (FGF1) in TGF-β-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Mammary Epithelial Cells. [PDF]
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a critical role in cancer metastasis, and is regulated by growth factors such as transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and fibroblast growth factors (FGF) secreted from the stromal and tumor cells. However,

Effective treatment of HER2-amplified breast cancer by targeting HER3 and β1 integrin [PDF]
The central role of HER2 as the disease driver and HER3 as its essential partner has made them rational targets for the treatment of HER2-amplifed breast cancers, and there is considerable interest in developing highly effective treatment regimens for this disease that consist of targeted therapies alone.
