Nonlocal Adhesion Models for Microorganisms on Bounded Domains [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In 2006 Armstrong, Painter and Sherratt formulated a non-local differential equation model for cell-cell adhesion. For the one dimensional case we derive various types of adhesive, repulsive, and no-flux boundary bonditions. We prove local and global existence and uniqueness for the resulting integro-differential equations.

A biophysical model of cell adhesion mediated by immunoadhesin drugs and antibodies [PDF]
, 2010 A promising direction in drug development is to exploit the ability of natural killer cells to kill antibody-labeled target cells. Monoclonal antibodies and drugs designed to elicit this effect typically bind cell-surface epitopes that are overexpressed on target cells but also present on other cells.

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 ...

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

Role of laminin and cognate receptors in cholangiocarcinoma cell migration
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2021 Extensive desmoplasia in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is associated with tumor aggressiveness, indicating a need for further understanding of CCA cell–matrix interaction.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study explores how sepsis affects GC progression by creating an immunosuppressive environment. Our findings reveal that sepsis promotes immune dysregulation, enhancing tumor growth and metastasis. Targeting the PD‐1/PD‐L1 pathway with monoclonal antibodies shows potential for restoring immune function and improving outcomes in cancer patients ...

YAP regulates cell mechanics by controlling focal adhesion assembly
Nature Communications, 2017 Hippo effectors YAP/TAZ act as on–off mechanosensing switches by sensing modifications in extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and mechanics. The regulation of their activity has been described by a hierarchical model in which elements of Hippo pathway

Hydrodynamic Effects on the Motility of Crawling Eukaryotic Cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Eukaryotic cell motility is crucial during development, wound healing, the immune response, and cancer metastasis. Some eukaryotic cells can swim, but cells more commonly adhere to and crawl along the extracellular matrix. We study the relationship between hydrodynamics and adhesion that describe whether a cell is swimming, crawling, or combining these

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.VASP was found to be overexpressed in metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues. Notably, PTTG1‐ and VASP‐deficient OSCC cells demonstrated suppressed metastatic properties by disrupting the interaction between the cytoskeleton and focal adhesion (FAs) in the filopodia region.
