When cells are stimulated to move, for instance during development, wound healing or angiogenesis, they undergo changes in the turnover of their cell-matrix adhesions. This is often accompanied by alterations in the expression profile of integrins-the extracellular matrix receptors that mediate anchorage within these adhesions. Here, we discuss how a shift in expression between two different types of integrins that bind fibronectin can have dramatic consequences for cell-matrix adhesion dynamics and cell motility.
