Epidermal cells adhere preferentially to type IV (basement membrane) collagen

J C Murray et al. J Cell Biol. 1979 Jan.

Abstract

Epidermal cells from adult guinea pig skin attach and differentiate preferentially on substrates of type IV (basement membrane) collagen, compared to those of types I--III collagen. In contrast, guinea pig dermal fibroblasts attach equally well to all four collagen substrates. Fibronectin mediates the attachment of fibroblasts but not of epidermal cells to collagen.
