All cells rely on cell signaling to detect and respond to cues in their environment. This process not only promotes the proper functioning of individual cells, but it also allows communication and ...

Ladoux´s team is investigating the relationships between adhesion and mechanical and biochemical signaling for the adaptation of living cells to changes in their physical environment at diverse levels ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable ...

Cell adhesion is the process by which cells form contacts with each other or with their substratum through specialized protein complexes. Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens ...

The test can be used to better stratify cancer patients and determine the likelihood of breast cancer metastasizing.

This graphic illustrates paracrine adhesion signaling on small extracellular vesicles, which secretes a protein called galectin-3, which promotes endocytosis so the vesicle can be absorbed into the ...

One key player in this process is integrin, a protein found on the surface of cells that facilitates adhesion, helping them stick to other surfaces. In this scenario, integrin is what the white ...
