EPCR promotes breast cancer progression by altering SPOCK1/testican 1-mediated 3D growth

Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2017
Background Activated protein C/endothelial protein C receptor (APC/EPCR) axis is physiologically involved in anticoagulant and cytoprotective activities in endothelial cells.

The role of Plasmodium falciparum var genes in malaria in pregnancy [PDF]

, 2004
Sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the placenta is responsible for many of the harmful effects of malaria during pregnancy. Sequestration occurs as a result of parasite adhesion molecules expressed on the surface of infected ...

Elevated Expression of Serum Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecules in COVID-19 Patients

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
In a retrospective study of 39 COVID-19 patients and 32 control participants in China, we collected clinical data and examined the expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

Biomimetic emulsions reveal the effect of homeostatic pressure on cell-cell adhesion

, 2012
Cell-cell contacts in tissues are continuously subject to mechanical forces due to homeostatic pressure and active cytoskeleton dynamics. While much is known about the molecular pathways of adhesion, the role of mechanics is less well understood.

Irisin promotes intestinal epithelial cell proliferation via Wnt/β-catenin and focal adhesion kinase signaling pathways

Scientific Reports
The regeneration of epithelia is crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Irisin is an exercise-induced hormone originally found to be secreted by skeletal muscles, thereby regulating energy metabolism.

Is There a Need for a More Precise Description of Biomolecule Interactions to Understand Cell Function?

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2022
An important goal of biological research is to explain and hopefully predict cell behavior from the molecular properties of cellular components. Accordingly, much work was done to build extensive “omic” datasets and develop theoretical methods, including

Adhesion and Cohesion [PDF]

International Journal of Dentistry, 2012
The phenomena of adhesion and cohesion are reviewed and discussed with particular reference to dentistry. This review considers the forces involved in cohesion and adhesion together with the mechanisms of adhesion and the underlying molecular processes involved in bonding of dissimilar materials. The forces involved in surface tension, surface wetting,

Membrane recruitment of the polarity protein Scribble by the cell adhesion receptor TMIGD1

Communications Biology, 2023
Scribble (Scrib) is a multidomain polarity protein and member of the leucine-rich repeat and PDZ domain (LAP) protein family. A loss of Scrib expression is associated with disturbed apical-basal polarity and tumor formation.

Adhesion of vesicles

Physical Review A, 1990
A simple model for the adhesion of vesicles to interfaces and membranes is introduced and theoretically studied. It is shown that adhering (or bound) vesicles can exhibit a large variety of different shapes. The notion of a contact angle governed by tension is found to be applicable only for a restricted subset of these shapes. Furthermore, the vesicle

A role for Rap2 in recycling the extended conformation of LFA-1 during T cell migration

Biology Open, 2012
Summary T lymphocytes make use of their major integrin LFA-1 to migrate on surfaces that express ICAM-1 such as blood vessels and inflamed tissue sites.
