Substrate stiffness modulates bacterial adhesion and diversity of adherent phenotypes across growth stages [PDF]
Microorganisms 2025Surface-adhesion and stiffness of underlying substrates mediate geometry, mechanics and self-organization of bacterial colonies. Recent studies have qualitatively indicted that stiffness may impact bacterial attachment, yet the variation of cell-to-surface adhesion with substrate stiffness remains to be quantified.

Some fundamentals of adhesion in synthetic adhesives [PDF]
Biofouling, 2016 Various adhesion mechanisms that have been understood in the field of synthetic adhesives are described and these are linked with situations relevant to fouling issues. The review mainly deals with mechanical aspects of adhesion phenomena, with an emphasis on the role of the elasticity of the bodies, called substrata, attached by adhesive.

Scientific Reports, 2022 The roughness and wettability of surfaces exploited by free-ranging geckos can be highly variable and attachment to these substrates is context dependent (e.g., presence or absence of surface water). Although previous studies focus on the effect of these

Probing mechanical interaction of immune receptors and cytoskeleton by membrane nanotube extraction
Scientific Reports, 2023 The role of force application in immune cell recognition is now well established, the force being transmitted between the actin cytoskeleton to the anchoring ligands through receptors such as integrins. In this chain, the mechanics of the cytoskeleton to

Controlling T cells spreading, mechanics and activation by micropatterning
Scientific Reports, 2021 We designed a strategy, based on a careful examination of the activation capabilities of proteins and antibodies used as substrates for adhering T cells, coupled to protein microstamping to control at the same time the position, shape, spreading ...

miRNA-200c-3p targets talin-1 to regulate integrin-mediated cell adhesion
Scientific Reports, 2021 The ability of integrins on the cell surface to mediate cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix ligands is regulated by intracellular signaling cascades.

EpCAM promotes endosomal modulation of the cortical RhoA zone for epithelial organization
Nature Communications, 2021 The organization and force-generating property of actomyosin dictate the plasticity and behaviour of cells but the spatio-temporal regulation of this network is unclear.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key players of intercellular communication and mediate crosstalk between tissues. Metastatic tumors release tumorigenic EVs, capable of pre-conditioning distal sites for organotropic metastasis.

The impact of nasal adhesions on airflow and mucosal cooling -- a computational fluid dynamics analysis [PDF]
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology Volume 293, November 2021,
103719, 2021 Nasal adhesions are a known postoperative complication following surgical procedures for nasal airway obstruction (NAO); and are a common cause of surgical failure, with patients often reporting significant NAO, despite relatively minor adhesion size.
