Integrins and cadherins are components of the hemidesmosomes and desmosomes, cellular structure that mediate cell adhesion and cell-cell contact. Which cytoskeletal filament associates with integrins and cadherins? a) Keratins b) kinesins c) Lamins d) Actin Question 4 (1 point) is the most diverse intermediate filament family, with about 20 types found in human epithelial cells and 10 more specific to hair and nails.
