Integrins are cell surface receptors of the extracellular matrix present in all animals. Genetic
analysis in worms, flies, and vertebrates has revealed integrin involvement in key …

The basement membrane (BM) is a thin, planar-organized extracellular matrix that underlies
epithelia and surrounds most organs. During development, the BM is highly dynamic and …

The original article to which this Erratum refers was published in Journal of Pathology; 200
(4): 471–480. It has been brought to the attention of the publishers that there were errors on …

By linking actin dynamics to extracellular components, integrins are involved in a wide range
of cellular processes that are associated with or require cytoskeletal remodelling and cell …

▪ Abstract Epithelial morphogenesis comprises the various processes by which epithelia
contribute to organ formation and body shape. These complex and diverse events play a …

Development of the C. elegans gonad has long been studied as a model of organogenesis
driven by collective cell migration. A somatic cell named the distal tip cell (DTC) is thought to …

The C. elegans germ line proliferates from one primordial germ cell (PGC) set aside in the
early embryo to over a thousand cells in the adult. Most germline proliferation is controlled …

Integrins have key functions in cell adhesion and migration. How integrins are dynamically
relocalized to the leading edge in highly polarized migratory cells has remained unexplored …

Cell-extracellular matrix interactions have been studied extensively using cells cultured in
vitro. These studies indicate that focal adhesion (FA)-based cell-extracellular matrix …

Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) binds dsDNA, LEM-domain proteins, and lamins.
Caenorhabditis elegans BAF requires Ce-lamin and two LEM-domain proteins (Ce-emerin …
