The integrin αvβ8 mediates epithelial homeostasis through MT1-MMP–dependent activation of TGF-β1

Întegrins, matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), and the cytokine TGF-β have each been implicated in homeostatic cell behaviors such as cell growth and matrix remodeling. TGF-β exists mainly in a latent state, and a major point of homeostatic control is the activation of TGF-β. Because the latent domain o...
