Laminin 332 processing impacts cellular behavior
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2013 Laminin 332, composed of the α3, β3 and γ2 chains, is an epithelial-basement membrane specific laminin variant. Its main role in normal tissues is the maintenance of epithelial-mesenchymal cohesion in tissues exposed to external forces, including skin ...

Myelination: all about Rac n roll. [PDF]
, 2007 During the development of the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells select individual axons from a nerve bundle and establish a one-to-one relationship through a process termed radial sorting. Recent findings identify the Rho family GTPase Rac1 as the

Laminin-211 in skeletal muscle function
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2013 A chain is no stronger than its weakest link is an old idiom that holds true for muscle biology. As the name implies, skeletal muscle’s main function is to move the bones. However, for a muscle to transmit force and withstand the stress that contractions
