Biomimetic Materials
Integrins are transmembrane proteins that play a crucial role in cell adhesion, signaling, and communication between cells and their extracellular matrix (ECM). They facilitate the binding of cells to the ECM, allowing for structural support and the transmission of biochemical signals that influence various cellular functions, including survival, proliferation, and migration. Integrins are essential for processes like wound healing and tissue repair, linking the mechanical properties of the ECM to cellular responses.
