Although you may have yet to hear of an adhesion contract, you have likely participated in one or more in the past. Adhesion contracts are written agreements between two parties where one has ...

Scientists at the University of Akron and the University of Pittsburgh have overturned long-held assumptions in new research that finds water can be a help for adhesion. Dr. Ali Dhinojwala, ...

Adhesion GPCRs are a large class of surface proteins that recognize chemical and mechanical stimuli in the body. The rapidly expanding body of knowledge on the therapeutic targeting of these receptors ...

Cell-adhesion molecules of the cadherin and immunoglobulin-like cell-adhesion molecule (Ig-CAM) superfamilies not only exert their functions by mediating cell–cell and cell–matrix adhesion, but also ...

A research team discovers universal mechanism that leads to adhesion hysteresis in soft materials. Through a combination of experimental observations and simulations, the team demonstrated that ...

Cold atmospheric plasma can affect cell adhesion with a significant role in stem cell adhesion. In a new study now published in Scientific Reports, Kobra Hajizadeh and a team of researchers in the ...

Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego and San Diego State University have discovered a key feature that allows cancer cells to break from typical cell behavior and migrate away from ...

Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) can be serious, but it’s treatable. It involves two parts of your eye. One is the vitreous, or the “jelly” part that fills the eyeball. The other is the macula, a small ...

The immune system plays a dual role in inflammation and cancer development. Immune system effector cells quickly identify and destroy malignant cells, but immune system-mediated inflammation regulates ...
