J Cell Biol. 141:1998;539-551. These experiments demonstrate that Rho-mediated contractility affects FN assembly by Swiss 3T3 cells. Mechanical stretching of purified FN exposes binding sites for FN and monoclonal antibody suggesting that contractility could expose cryptic sites during assembly.

J Cell Sci. 111:1998;1929-1940. This study showing co-localization of laminin, type IV collagen, and integrins in co-cultures of keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts is one of the first to suggest that basement membrane assembly is receptor-mediated.

A central role for dystroglycan binding to laminin in matrix formation is demonstrated by the lack of basement membrane structures and disruption of laminin, type IV collagen, and perlecan localization in embryoid bodies from dystroglycan-null embryonic stem cells.
