Effect of loading history on airway smooth muscle cell-matrix adhesions

Integrin-mediated adhesions between airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate how contractile forces generated within the cell are transmitted to its external environment. Environmental cues are known to influence the formation, size and survival of cell-matrix adh...
