Integrins participate in numerous complex biological processes that include cell growth, differentiation, and migration, tissue organization and remodeling, inflammation, and immune response (1). Signals contributed by integrin-mediated cell adhesion cooperate with classical activatory receptors in initiating cellular activities, such as mitosis, secretion, or gene expression (2); by these means, cellular responses take into account all aspects of their environment.
