Structural studies of integrin activation
<p>Fundamental to cell adhesion and migration, integrins are large heterodimeric membrane proteins that link the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton. Uniquely, these adhesion receptors mediate inside-out signal transduction, whereby extracellular adhesion is activated from within th...
