Effects of substrate stiffness on cell morphology, cytoskeletal structure, and adhesion.

open access: yesCell Motility and the Cytoskeleton, 2005
The morphology and cytoskeletal structure of fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and neutrophils are documented for cells cultured on surfaces with stiffness ranging from 2 to 55,000 Pa that have been laminated with fibronectin or collagen as adhesive ligand.

Thrombomodulin: A Bifunctional Modulator of Inflammation and Coagulation in Sepsis

open access: yesCritical 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 ...

Integrins alpha v beta 3 and alpha v beta 5 contribute to cell attachment to vitronectin but differentially distribute on the cell surface. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
We investigated the role of the integrins alpha v beta 3 and alpha v beta 5 in mediating vitronectin adhesion of three phenotypically distinct cell types.

Effect of adhesion geometry and rigidity on cellular force distributions

open access: yes, 2009
The behaviour and fate of tissue cells is controlled by the rigidity and geometry of their adhesive environment, possibly through forces localized to sites of adhesion.

A novel chemokine receptor for SDF-1 and I-TAC involved in cell survival, cell adhesion, and tumor development

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 2006
The chemokine stromal cell–derived factor (SDF-1; also known as chemokine ligand 12 [CXCL12]) regulates many essential biological processes, including cardiac and neuronal development, stem cell motility, neovascularization, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and ...

Adhesion of membranes via receptor-ligand complexes: Domain formation, binding cooperativity, and active processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cell membranes interact via anchored receptor and ligand molecules. Central questions on cell adhesion concern the binding affinity of these membrane-anchored molecules, the mechanisms leading to the receptor-ligand domains observed during adhesion, and ...

Adhesion GPCRs are widely expressed throughout the subsections of the gastrointestinal tract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent one of the largest families of transmembrane receptors and the most common drug target. The Adhesion subfamily is the second largest one of GPCRs and its several members are known to mediate ...

Contact inhibition of locomotion and mechanical cross-talk between cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesion determines the pattern of junctional tension in epithelial cell aggregates

open access: yes, 2016
We generated a computational approach to analyze the biomechanics of epithelial cell aggregates, either island or stripes or entire monolayers, that combines both vertex and contact-inhibition-of-locomotion models to include both cell-cell and cell ...

Contractile forces at tricellular contacts modulate epithelial organization and monolayer integrity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
EpCAM is an unconventional epithelia-specific cell–cell adhesion molecule, that is mutated in the majority of cases of Congenital Tufting Enteropathy. Here the authors show that loss of EpCAM causes a concentration of contractile activity at tricellular ...
