Matrix modulation in monocytes
The interactions of cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM) are critical for orchestrating immune and inflammatory responses. In the December Immunity, de Fougerolles et al. report a comprehensive analysis of gene expression profiles affected by the attachment of monocytes to fibronectin and other ECM components (Immunity 2000, 13:749-758). They used a quantitative, restriction enzyme-based profiling method, named GeneCalling, to examine the integrin-mediated induction of genes in the monocy
