The potential roles of a laminin receptor in adhesion and apoptosis of cells of the marine bivalve Meretrix meretrix.
<h4>Background</h4>The laminin receptors (LRs) play important roles in cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, certain cell-cell adhesions, and the activation of many intracellular signaling pathways. Studies of LRs have primarily focused on mammals, while few studies of LRs in marine...
