Integrins and syndecans are two families of transmembrane matrix receptors that cooperate during cell adhesion to support focal-adhesion formation. The cytoplasmic domain of syndecan-4 includes a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
