Interlaboratory study of ice adhesion using different techniques [PDF]
Low ice adhesion surfaces are a promising anti-icing strategy. However, reported ice adhesion strengths cannot be directly compared between research groups. This study compares results obtained from testing the ice adhesion strength on the same surface at two different laboratories, testing two different types of ice with different ice adhesion test ...

On the adhesion of vesicles by cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
This paper gives a detailed analysis of experiments on the kinetics of aggregation of lipid vesicles containing neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAM). An explanation for the dependence of the "initial aggregation rate," kagg, on the square of the vesicle concentration is given, accounting both for Brownian motion of the vesicles and shear effects.

Structural basis for interdomain communication in SHIP2 providing high phosphatase activity
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.

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

Analytical characterization of adhering vesicles [PDF]
We characterize vesicle adhesion onto homogeneous substrates by means of a perturbative expansion around the infinite adhesion limit, where curvature elasticity effects are absent. At first order in curvature elasticity, we determine analytically various global physical quantities associated with adhering vesicles: height, adhesion radius, etc.

Long range diffusion noise in platinum micro-wires with metallic adhesion layers [PDF]
Voltage fluctuations of Platinum wires hosted by silicon nitride beams were investigated. We considered four variants of the wires: three with an adhesion layer and one with no adhesion layer. We found that the presence of an adhesion layer changes the nature of the power spectrum which is $1/f$ for wires with no adhesion layers and $1/f^{3/2}$ for ...

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones
Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

Ligand-competent fractalkine receptor is expressed on exosomes
Expression of chemokine receptor CX3CR1 is reportedly restricted to several cell types including natural killer cells, cytotoxic T cells, monocytes, and macrophages.

BACKGROUND: The skeleton is the most common site of colonization by metastatic cancers. Zoledronic acid (ZA) has been shown to be effective for the treatment of bone metastases regardless of whether the bone lesions are osteolytic or osteoblastic ...
