Cell control by membrane–cytoskeleton adhesion

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2001
The rates of mechanochemical processes, such as endocytosis, membrane extension and membrane resealing after cell wounding, are known to be controlled biochemically, through interaction with regulatory proteins. Here, I propose that these rates are also controlled physically, through an apparently continuous adhesion between plasma membrane lipids and ...

Adhesion control in railroad traction

e & i Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik, 2004
This article presents a new approach to adhesion control for railroad traction. Based on a combined torque and speed observation the controller detects the actual adhesion utilization at the wheel and applies an adequate torque limitation. Hence the traction unit optimally takes use of the available adhesion.

Compliance switching for adhesion control

Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer Physics, 2014
ABSTRACTClimbing lizards display numerous advanced features in their locomotion, notably a method to quickly switch between a state of low and high adhesive force capacity. Inspired by the gecko's adhesive switching, a method of mechanically switching between low and high adhesive states is reported.

Functional surfaces for controlled adhesion

2009
Adhesive joining with molecular (van der Waals) interactions without chemical glue is presently receiving much attention because of many potential applications. Research on how insects, spiders and geckos stick to surfaces has inspired a new paradigm: fibrillar surfaces with appropriate design can show much higher adhesion performance than flat ...

Intelligent control of adhesive dispensing

International Journal of Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 1990
Abstract This paper presents the results of work which uses knowledge-based control techniques to resolve the problems encountered in the dispensing of the highly viscous and thixo-tropic adhesives used to secure surface mounted components to mixed technology circuit boards prior to wave-soldering.

Electrically controlling cell adhesion, growth and migration

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2010
We have developed a neurochip to control the adhesion and outgrowth of individual neurons by electrochemical removal of protein repellent molecules from transparent electrodes. The neurochip architecture is based on three parallel indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrodes on a SiO(2) substrate and a photoresist structure forming a landing spot for the neuron ...

Field-controlled adhesion in confined magnetorheological fluids

Physical Review E, 2009
The study of reversible, functional, and controllable adhesives is a matter of considerable practical interest, and academic research. We report the adhesive response of a magnetorheological fluid confined between two parallel plates under a probe-tack test, when it is subjected to an applied magnetic field.

Genetic Control of Bacterial Adhesion

1984
Adhesive substances represent a solution to the problem of colonizing varied surfaces in the bacterial habitat. A given species may have genetic information for a large repertoire of adhesive substances, and the outcome of an encounter between a population of these bacteria and a particular surface may depend on how the bacteria regulate the expression

Quality Control of Adhesive Bonding

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1979
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The quality control of adhesive bonded panels begins with the arrival of the adhesive system at the fabricating facility. Whether an adhesive must be kept refrigerated or stored at room temperature, its quality must be verified and maintained until it is cured in a bonded assembly.
