Regulation of axonal outgrowth and pathfinding by integrin–ecm interactions
Open accessAbstract
Developing neurons use a combination of guidance cues to assemble a functional neural network. A variety of proteins immobilized within the extracellular matrix (ECM) provide specific binding sites for integrin receptors on neurons. Integrin receptors on growth cones associate with a number of cytosolic adaptor and signaling proteins that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and cell adhesion. Recent evidence suggests that soluble growth factors and classic axon guidance cues may direct axon pathfinding by controlling integrin-based adhesion. Moreover, because classic axon guidance cues themselves are immobilized within the ECM and integrins modulate cellular responses to many axon guidance cues, interactions between activated receptors modulate cell signals and adhesion. Ultimately, growth cones control axon outgrowth and pathfinding behaviors by integrating distinct biochemical signals to promote the proper assembly of the nervous system. In this review, we discuss our current understanding how ECM proteins and their associated integrin receptors control neural network formation.

Collagen, laminin, fibritin and RGD in ECM scaffolds can interact with 11 integrins.
“Collagen, laminin, fibritin and RGD in ECM scaffolds can interact with 11 integrins.[ 130 ]”
From Bioactive scaffolds for tissue engineering: A review of decellularized extracellular matrix applications and innovations (2025) · cites this paper as [130]
The ECM composition and function section identifies collagen, laminin and fibronectin as ECM components, and the Fibronectin section says its RGD-containing domain is recognized by several integrins (page numbers unavailable). The copy does not identify “fibritin” or establish that these scaffold components interact with exactly 11 integrins. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIntegrins participate in dendritic and axonal growth and regeneration.
“For instance, integrins participate in dendritic and axonal growth and regeneration (Myers et al. 2011; Fawcett 2017)”
From The Serine/Threonine Kinase <scp>NDR2</scp> Regulates Integrin Signaling, Synapse Formation, and Synaptic Plasticity in the Hippocampus (2025) · cites this paper as Myers et al. 2011
The ‘Integrins encode substratum specificity’ section says integrins function in axon extension and reports improved regeneration in vivo after α9-integrin expression. The passages do not establish a role in dendritic growth; the reference to dendritic spine remodeling is a bibliography entry, not a finding discussed in the paper. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
