Fässler, R, Schnegelsberg, P N, Dausman, J, Shinya, T, Muragaki, Y, McCarthy, M T, ...
Type IX collagen is a nonfibrillar collagen composed of three gene products, alpha 1(IX), alpha 2(IX), and alpha 3(IX). Type IX molecules are localized on the surface of type II-containing fibrils...
Defective smooth muscle regulation in cGMP kinase I-deficient mice.
Pfeifer, A, Klatt, P, Massberg, S, Ny, L, Sausbier, M, Hirneiss, C, ...
Regulation of smooth muscle contractility is essential for many important biological processes such as tissue perfusion, cardiovascular haemostasis and gastrointestinal motility. While an increase in...

The vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) is associated with actin filaments and focal adhesions, which form the interface between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. VASP is...

A new splice variant of the human integrin subunit beta1 has been identified and designated beta1C-2. It differs from the previously reported beta1C (in this report designated beta1C-1) by 18...
Skin wounds and severed nerves heal normally in mice lacking tenascin-C.
