Do beta3-integrins rather than beta1-integrins dominate integrin-matrix interactions involved in postinjury smooth muscle cell migration?
In postinjury migrating SMCs, beta3- rather than beta1-integrin-matrix interactions are of greater functional significance in adhesive processes essential for SMC migration in vitro and in vivo. Blockade of dominant SMC integrin (beta3)-matrix interactions may be a valuable approach for limiting injury-induced SMC migration and late arterial renarrowing.
In Colombia, the CG-MRSA isolates probably originated in the dissemination of an USA300-related MSSA clone which later acquired SCC mec IVc.
