The laminins are a large family of extracellular matrix proteins that can profoundly influence de
elopment, differentiation and disease progression. The biological effects of the laminins are mediated by surface receptors that link laminin matrices to intracellular signalling pathways. Se
eral classes of receptors, including integrins and other molecules, may cooperate to pro
erse array of laminin-mediated phenomena. This re
iew assesses our current understanding of laminin receptors and discusses how such receptors could recognize structural differences among the laminins and relay these differences to the cell.
