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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Researchers found that specific metabolites of resveratrol in urine accurately reflect red wine consumption. These biomarkers ...

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 ...

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

According to the developers, the swarm of robots can maintain cohesion, support substantial weight and self-heal, taking ...
