Cell-cell adhesion-induced patterning in keratinocytes can be explained by just starvation and strong adhesion, Hokkaido University researchers find. Fingerprints are one of the best-recognised ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered new mechanisms underlying cellular adhesion and repair, findings that ...

Cell adhesion molecule L1, a key member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Its functions extend from guiding neuronal ...

Certain antibodies employ unusual tactics to keep germs from attaching to cells in our bodies. Their defensive strategies ...

Using a novel method that gives a readout of which proteins are in specific locations within cells, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in cell ...

“Focus has been on how cells become mechanosensitive, how cell adhesion became mechanosensitive through the recruitment of mechanosensitive proteins like talin, vinculin, and also other proteins,” ...

Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines ...

Microscale 3D printed arches guide cells to form natural self-bonds, improving how soft tissue attaches to medical implants without added proteins. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Efforts to engineer reliable ...
