Current opinion in cell biology, 1999•ElsevierFibronectin matrix assembly is a regulated stepwise process. In the past year, analyses of
fibronectin domains, integrin and cytoskeletal contributions, and fibril architecture have
provided new insights into assembly mechanisms and matrix control of cell functions. Like
fibronectin, laminin polymerization is cell-mediated. Thus a common pathway for
extracellular matrix assembly is emerging.
