The role of integrin alphavbeta6 in impaired wound healing and hair follicle regeneration
Integrin αvβ6 is an epithelial-specific receptor that is absent from the healthy epidermis but synthesized de novo during wound repair. However, its function in wound repair is unknown. Integrin-mediated activation of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is the main activation mechanism of this ke...
