Cell Adhesion by Integrins. [PDF]
Integrins are heterodimeric cell surface receptors ensuring the mechanical connection between cells and the extracellular matrix. In addition to the anchorage of cells to the extracellular matrix, these receptors have critical functions in intracellular ...

During cancer progression, cells lose their original tissue contacts, move through the extracellular matrix (ECM), enter into the lymphatic and/or blood system, extravasate, and ultimately form new tumors. Therefore, tumor cells inevitably experience alterations in cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesion and the transformation activities of tumor cells are ...

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

Targeted remodeling of breast cancer and immune cell homing niches by exosomal integrins
Exosomes represent an important subset of extracellular vesicles involved in inter-cellular communications in health and diseases. Exosomes secreted from cancer and immune cells travel to the specific tissues containing homing niches.

On the adhesion of vesicles by cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
This paper gives a detailed analysis of experiments on the kinetics of aggregation of lipid vesicles containing neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAM). An explanation for the dependence of the "initial aggregation rate," kagg, on the square of the vesicle concentration is given, accounting both for Brownian motion of the vesicles and shear effects.

Tenomodulin expression in the periodontal ligament enhances cellular adhesion. [PDF]
Tenomodulin (Tnmd) is a type II transmembrane protein characteristically expressed in dense connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. Its expression in the periodontal ligament (PDL) has also been demonstrated, though the timing and function ...

Conformational flexibility determines the Nf2/merlin tumor suppressor functions
The Neurofibromatosis type 2 gene encodes the Nf2/merlin tumor suppressor protein that is responsible for the regulation of cell proliferation. Once activated, Nf2/merlin modulates adhesive signaling pathways and thereby inhibits cell growth.

Recent advance in surface modification for regulating cell adhesion and behaviors
Cell adhesion is a basic requirement for anchorage-dependent cells to survive on the matrix. It is the first step in a series of cell activities, such as cell diffusion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation.
