Supported Membranes on Chemically Structured and Rough Surfaces [PDF]
We present a general linear response description of membrane adhesion at rough or chemically structured surfaces. Our method accounts for non-local Van der Waals effects and contains the more approximate (and local) Deryagin approach in a simple limit ...

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

Stimulation of endothelial adenosine Al receptors enhances adhesion of neutrophils in the intact guinea pig coronary system [PDF]
Objective: The primary aim was to determine the action of pathophysiologically relevant adenosine concentrations (0.1-1 μM) on adhesion of neutrophils to coronary endothelium.

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 ...

The role of cell-cell adhesion in wound healing
We present a stochastic model which describes fronts of cells invading a wound. In the model cells can move, proliferate, and experience cell-cell adhesion.

Adhesion Induced DNA Naturation [PDF]
DNA adsorption and naturation is modeled via two interacting flexible homopolymers coupled to a solid surface. DNA denatures if the entropy gain for unbinding the two strands overcomes the loss of binding energy.

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.

Peritoneal adhesions after laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery [PDF]
Although laparoscopy has the potential to reduce peritoneal trauma and post-operative peritoneal adhesion formation, only one randomized controlled trial and a few comparative retrospective clinical studies have addressed this issue.

ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary dysfunction and sleep abnormalities are common in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Whether spirometry abnormalities are associated with polysomnography (PSG) findings remains unclear.
