Integrins affecting mechanical strain-induced expression of egr-1 in vascular smooth muscle cells /

Integrins are transmembrane proteins that anchor cells to the extracellular matrix, ECM, and they are thought to play a very important role in the transmission of signals between the ECM and the cell. The cells of interest in this study are the vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells, specifically the mo...
