Increased Expression of β6-Integrin in Skin Leads to Spontaneous Development of Chronic Wounds

Integrin αvβ6 is an epithelial cell-specific receptor that is not normally expressed by resting epithelium but its expression is induced during wound healing. The function of αvβ6-integrin in wound repair is not clear. In the present study, we showed that β6-integrin expression was strongly up-regul...
