STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY:
Changing Partners

Richard O. Hynes

Transmembrane proteins called integrins regulate cell adhesion by interacting with both external ligands and internal cytoskeletal proteins. In his Perspective, Hynes explores the molecular changes in the different segments of integrins that contribute to integrin activation and cell adhesion (Li et al.).
