The α8 Integrin Chain Affords Mechanical Stability to the Glomerular Capillary Tuft in Hypertensive Glomerular Disease

In the kidney, the α8 integrin chain is expressed in glomerular mesangial cells. The α8 integrin plays a role in early nephrogenesis but its functional role in the adult kidney is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that α8 integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions are important to maintain the integ...
