FAK Structure and Regulation by Membrane Interactions and Force in Focal Adhesions

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase with key roles in the regulation of cell adhesion migration, proliferation and survival. In cancer FAK is a major driver of invasion and metastasis and its upregulation is associated with poor

Differential Roles of Dendritic Cells in Expanding CD4 T Cells in Sepsis

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2019
Sepsis is a systemically dysregulated inflammatory syndrome, in which dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in coordinating aberrant immunity. The aim of this study is to shed light on the differential roles played by systemic versus mucosal DCs in ...

CD8 Co-Receptor Enhances T-Cell Activation without Any Effect on Initial Attachment

open access: yesCells, 2021
The scanning of surrounding tissues by T lymphocytes to detect cognate antigens requires high speed, sensitivity and specificity. T-cell receptor (TCR) co-receptors such as CD8 increase detection performance, but the exact mechanism remains incompletely ...

Cell Adhesion at the Tight Junctions: New Aspects and New Functions

open access: yesCells, 2023
Tight junctions (TJ) are cell–cell adhesive structures that define the permeability of barrier-forming epithelia and endothelia. In contrast to this seemingly static function, TJs display a surprisingly high molecular complexity and unexpected dynamic ...

Adhesives and adhesion: True chemical compounds as adhesives [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical and Physical Character, 1927
Adhesives are usually regarded as ill-defined substances of a colloidal nature, typified by glues, gums, resins, pastes and the like. It is the object of the present communication to show that pure substances can fully rival many of the common adhesives.

Structural basis for interdomain communication in SHIP2 providing high phosphatase activity

open access: yeseLife, 2017
SH2-containing-inositol-5-phosphatases (SHIPs) dephosphorylate the 5-phosphate of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) and play important roles in regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway in physiology and disease.

MicroRNA Profiles in Intestinal Epithelial Cells in a Mouse Model of Sepsis

open access: yesCells, 2023
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disorder that leads to the dysfunction of multiple organs. In the intestine, the deregulation of the epithelial barrier contributes to the development of sepsis by triggering continuous exposure to harmful factors ...

The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...
