Endothelial cell-cell adhesion and signaling
Endothelial cells line blood vessels and provide a dynamic interface between the blood and tissues. They remodel to allow leukocytes, fluid and small molecules to enter tissues during inflammation and infections. Here we compare the signaling networks that contribute to endothelial permeability and leukocyte transendothelial migration, focusing ...

Modelling adhesion-independent cell migration [PDF]
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.

Vinculin and Cell-Cell Adhesion [PDF]
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 ...

Cell Adhesion at the Tight Junctions: New Aspects and New Functions
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 ...

Sharpin suppresses β1-integrin activation by complexing with the β1 tail and kindlin-1
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

Thrombomodulin is a molecule with anti-coagulant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, thrombomodulin was reported to be able to bind extracellular matrix proteins, such as fibronectin and collagen; however, whether thrombomodulin regulates the ...

Cardiosphere-derived cells demonstrate metabolic flexibility that Is influenced by adhesion status [PDF]
Adult stem cells demonstrate metabolic flexibility that is regulated by cell adhesion status. The authors demonstrate that adherent cells primarily utilize glycolysis, whereas suspended cells rely on oxidative phosphorylation for their ATP needs.

Circulating LPS from gut microbiota leverages stenosis-induced deep vein thrombosis in mice
Objective and design An accumulating body of evidence has shown that gut microbiota is involved in regulating inflammation; however, it remains undetermined if and how gut microbiota plays an important role in modulating deep venous thrombosis (DVT ...

Measuring cell adhesion forces with the atomic force microscope at the molecular level [PDF]
In the past 25 years many techniques have been developed to characterize cell adhesion and to quantify adhesion forces. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to measure forces in the pico-newton range, an experimental technique known as force ...
