αV-class integrins exert dual roles on α5β1 integrins to strengthen adhesion to fibronectin
Nature Communications, 2017 Interaction of fibronectin with αv-class and α5β1 integrins results in formation of cell adhesion complexes, but the initial events (

Integrins, cancer and snake toxins (mini-review)
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2005 Integrins encompass a family of transmembrane heterodimeric proteins of adhesion that maintain cells attached to other cells and to the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Integrin activation states and eosinophil recruitment in asthma
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013 Eosinophil arrest and recruitment to the airway in asthma are mediated, at least in part, by integrins. Eosinophils express α4β1, α6β1, αLβ2, αMβ2, αXβ2, αDβ2, and α4β7 integrins, which interact with counter-receptors on other cells or ligands in the ...

Cells, 2022 Smooth muscle cells (SMCs), present in the media layer of blood vessels, are crucial in maintaining vascular homeostasis. Upon vascular injury, SMCs show a high degree of plasticity, undergo a change from a “contractile” to a “synthetic” phenotype, and ...

Integrin signaling in cancer: bidirectional mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2023 Integrins are transmembrane receptors that possess distinct ligand-binding specificities in the extracellular domain and signaling properties in the cytoplasmic domain.

BMB Reports, 2014 Integrin-mediated cell adhesion is important for development, immune responses, hemostasis and wound healing. Integrins also function as signal transducing receptors that can control intracellular pathways that regulate cell survival, proliferation, and cell fate.

Integrin‐dependent pathologies [PDF]
The Journal of Pathology, 2003 AbstractCell adhesion and migration are essential for embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and immune defence. The physical link between the extracellular substrate and the actin cytoskeleton is mediated by receptors of the integrin family and a large set of adaptor proteins.

The Connection Between Rap1 and Talin1 in the Activation of Integrins in Blood Cells
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Integrins regulate the adhesion and migration of blood cells to ensure the proper positioning of these cells in the environment. Integrins detect physical and chemical stimuli in the extracellular matrix and regulate signaling pathways in blood cells ...

Selectins and chemokines use shared and distinct signals to activate β2 integrins in neutrophils
Blood Advances, 2018 : Rolling neutrophils receive signals while engaging P- and E-selectin and chemokines on inflamed endothelium. Selectin signaling activates β2 integrins to slow rolling velocities. Chemokine signaling activates β2 integrins to cause arrest.
