Cell adhesion in cancer: Beyond the migration of single cells
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020 Homeostasis in healthy tissues strongly relies on cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to-extracellular matrix interactions. For instance, normal epithelial cells maintain tissue structure by adhering to each other and to the extracellular matrix. The proteins

Elevated Expression of Serum Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecules in COVID-19 Patients
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020 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
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.

On the adhesion of vesicles by cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 1985 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.

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 ...

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.

Sharpin suppresses β1-integrin activation by complexing with the β1 tail and kindlin-1
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2019 Background Previously sharpin has been identified as an endogenous inhibitor of β1-integrin activation by directly binding to a conserved region in the cytoplasmic tails (CTs) of the integrin β1-associated α subunits. Methods Here we employed biochemical

Selective Desensitization of Growth Factor Signaling by Cell Adhesion to Fibronectin [PDF]
, 2007 Cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix is required to execute growth factor (GF)-mediated cell behaviors, such as proliferation. A major underlying mechanism is that cell adhesion enhances GF-mediated intracellular signals, such as extracellular ...
