Abstract
Fibronectin presents the studies made on the physiological and pathophysiological roles of fibronectin.
The book presents chapters that discuss the primary structure of fibronectin and its mRNA; the physicochemical properties of fibronectin and fibronectin fragments; the fibronectin-containing extracellular matrix; the relationship of fibronectin and fibronectin-containing matrix to embryogenesis, wound healing, and the biology of cancer cells; the roles of fibronectin in platelet aggregation, attachment of microorganisms, pathogenesis of kidney diseases, arthritis, and lung fibrosis; and the production of purified concentrates of fibronectin suitable for use in patients.
The book will be of much interest to biologists, biochemists, pharmacologists, and medical practitioners and researchers.
