title: Roles of laminin-332 and alpha6beta4 integrin in tumor progression.
abstract: Laminin-332 and alpha6beta4 integrin is major hemidesmosome components in the skin. As many studies have shown that laminin-332 and alpha6beta4 integrin play important roles in tumor progression via activation of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase signaling, understanding of the molecular mechanisms of them could lead to a new drug for cancer therapy.
