This study identifies β4-integrins as critical for maintaining nuclear mechanics and integrity in prostate cancer, linking cell-ECM adhesion to genome stability and patient survival.

This study identifies α6β4 integrins as initiators of epithelial eversion and shows that increased cell proliferation and anchorage-independence sustain apical-out polarity.

This study shows that specific collagen XVIII isoforms regulate ureteric branching morphogenesis through their TSP1-like domain in kidney development.
