The influence of protein adsorption on interactions of cultured human endothelial cells with polymers [PDF]
, 1987 A systematic study of the effects of polymer surface properties on the interaction with human endothelial cells (HEC) may lead to the development of small-diameter vascular grafts.

Vinculin and Cell-Cell Adhesion [PDF]
Cell Adhesion and Communication, 1998 Vinculin, a 117-kDa protein, is a constituent of adhesion plaques and adherence junctions in non-muscle cells. We investigated the role of vinculin on the physical strength of cell-cell adhesion by conducting disaggregation assays on aggregates of parental wild-type F9 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells (clone BIM), two vinculin-depleted F9 cell lines ...

Ligand-competent fractalkine receptor is expressed on exosomes
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021 Expression of chemokine receptor CX3CR1 is reportedly restricted to several cell types including natural killer cells, cytotoxic T cells, monocytes, and macrophages.

Modelling adhesion-independent cell migration [PDF]
, 2020 A two-dimensional mathematical model for cells migrating without adhesion capabilities is presented and analyzed. Cells are represented by their cortex, which is modelled as an elastic curve, subject to an internal pressure force.

Targeted remodeling of breast cancer and immune cell homing niches by exosomal integrins
Diagnostic Pathology, 2020 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.

Conformational flexibility determines the Nf2/merlin tumor suppressor functions
Matrix Biology Plus, 2021 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.

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2007 AbstractThe complex interactions of cells with extracellular matrix (ECM) play crucial roles in mediating and regulating many processes, including cell adhesion, migration, and signaling during morphogenesis, tissue homeostasis, wound healing, and tumorigenesis. Many of these interactions involve transmembrane integrin receptors.

The Evolution of Cell Adhesion [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2000 Multicellular organisms clearly require mechanisms for intercellular communication and, perhaps even more basically, for intercellular cohesion. The most primitive sponges and coelenterates depend on cell adhesion for their organismal organization; so do insects, nematodes and vertebrates ...

Cell Adhesion at the Tight Junctions: New Aspects and New Functions
Cells, 2023 Tight junctions (TJ) are cell–cell adhesive structures that define the permeability of barrier-forming epithelia and endothelia. In contrast to this seemingly static function, TJs display a surprisingly high molecular complexity and unexpected dynamic ...
