Q

What do integrins bind too?

A

bind to fibronectin and laminin

Q

If a patient inherits or develops a mutation in a tumor suppressor gene, the complementary allele must be deleted/mutated before cancer develops. This is not true with oncogenes. What genetic principle is this?

A

Loss of Heterozygosity

44
Q

Collagen Type 3 is what? Collagen Type 4 is what?
