Adhesion of Microcapsules

Langmuir, 2006
The adhesion of microcapsules to an attractive contact potential is studied theoretically. The axisymmetric shape equations are solved numerically. Beyond a universal threshold strength of the potential, the contact radius increases like a square root of the strength.

Adhesive Properties of Eco‐Friendly Hot Melt Adhesive Based on Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) and Rosin Maleic Resin

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering
As environmental problems increase, disposable products are being replaced and recommended with materials with a low environmental load when it discarded. So the demand for bioplastics for building a sustainable society is increasing.

Junctional Adhesion Molecules (JAMs): The JAM-Integrin Connection

Cells, 2018
Junctional adhesion molecules (JAMs) are cell surface adhesion receptors of the immunoglobulin superfamily. JAMs are involved in a variety of biological processes both in the adult organism but also during development.

Loss of X-linked Protocadherin-19 differentially affects the behavior of heterozygous female and hemizygous male mice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Mutations in the X-linked gene Protocadherin-19 (Pcdh19) cause female-limited epilepsy and mental retardation in humans. Although Pcdh19 is known to be a homophilic cell-cell adhesion molecule, how its mutations bring about female-specific disorders ...

Liquid–liquid phase separation in neural development

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a physicochemical process in which a homogeneous mixture of molecules separates into a denser phase originating from preferential self-assembly, driven by multivalent interactions, frequently mediated by ...

Thrombomodulin: A Bifunctional Modulator of Inflammation and Coagulation in Sepsis

Critical Care Research and Practice, 2012
Deregulated interplay between inflammation and coagulation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Therapeutic approaches that simultaneously target both inflammation and coagulation hold great promise for the treatment of sepsis ...

The Rac3 GTPase in Neuronal Development, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, and Cancer

Cells, 2019
Rho family small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) are important regulators of the cytoskeleton, and are critical in many aspects of cellular and developmental biology, as well as in pathological processes such as intellectual disability and cancer. Of

Dual specificity kinase DYRK3 regulates cell migration by influencing the stability of protrusions

iScience
Summary: Plasma membrane-associated platforms (PMAPs) form at specific sites of plasma membrane by scaffolds including ERC1 and Liprin-α1. We identify a mechanism regulating PMAPs assembly, with consequences on motility/invasion. Silencing Ser/Thr kinase

Roles of programmed death‐1 and muscle innate lymphoid cell‐derived interleukin 13 in sepsis‐induced intensive care unit‐acquired weakness

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Intensive care unit‐acquired weakness (ICU‐AW) is a syndrome characterized by a long‐term muscle weakness often observed in sepsis‐surviving patients during the chronic phase.
