Bidirectional remodeling of β1-integrin adhesions during chemotropic regulation of nerve growth

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chemotropic factors in the extracellular microenvironment guide nerve growth by acting on the growth cone located at the tip of extending axons. Growth cone extension requires the coordination of cytoskeleton-dependent membrane protr...
