Abstract
Connective tissue is required for maintaining the integrity of tissues. Integrins are the cell surface receptors responsible for cell attachment to extracellular matrix; however, their tissue-specific role in this process is poorly understood. Here, we test whether integrin β1 is required for blood vessel maintenance and integrity in adult mice. We show that adult mice containing a fibroblast/smooth muscle cell-specific deletion of integrin β1 exhibit impaired bleeding time and maintenance of vessel architecture, including progressively reduced levels of extracellular matrix (ECM). Vessels also possessed diminished levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and cells derived from vessels showed reduced production of mRNAs encoding ECM and α-SMA as well as reduced α-SMA protein and stress fibers and ECM contraction. Integrin β1 in adult fibroblasts/smooth muscle cells/pericytes is required for vasoconstriction and vascular maintenance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
