Syndecans and cell adhesion

2001
Now that transmembrane signaling through primary cell-matrix receptors, integrins, is being elucidated, attention is turning to how integrin-ligand interactions can be modulated. Syndecans are transmembrane proteoglycans implicated as coreceptors in a variety of physiological processes, including cell adhesion, migration, response to growth factors ...

On the measurement of cell adhesiveness

Journal of Experimental Zoology, 1970
AbstractFour parameters that might be related to either the cell surface or cell adhesiveness were examined as a function of embryonic age in chick cells, and compared to each other. The four parameters were: (1) size of aggregates formed in shaker culture; (2) rate of aggregation in shaker culture; (3) sorting‐out behavior; (4) surface charge density.

Cell activation and adhesion [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 1987
ABSTRACT It has long been known that the adhesiveness of leucocytes and blood platelets can be changed from a state of non-adhesion to very strong adhesion to each other, and to many surfaces, in a very short time. The agents that produce such changes are prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes (see for example, Hoover et al. 1984),

Cell Adhesion Molecules [PDF]

Science, 1983
It has been proposed that cell-cell recognition occurs by means of local cell surface modulation of a small number of proteins rather than by expression of large numbers of different cell surface markers. Several different cell adhesion molecules (CAM's) have now been found in a number of vertebrate species in different tissues such as ...

Cell-Adhesion Assays

2004
One of the most important properties of cells that are derived from multicellular organisms is their ability to adhere to extracellular matrix proteins or other cells. Analysis of cell-extracellular matrix and/or cell-cell adhesion, therefore, is of important value to experimental biologists as well as clinical investigators.

Cell Adhesion Assays

2011
Standard adhesion assays measure cell binding either to immobilized ligands or to cell monolayers in flat-well microtiter plates under static conditions. Typically, these test systems require several washing steps to separate adherent from nonadherent cells.

The measurement of cell adhesion

Experimental Cell Research, 1961
Abstract Some of the theoretical physical aspects of the measurement of cell adhesion by distractive techniques have been discussed. It is suggested that when adherends are separated by distraction, the tensile strengths of the adherend surfaces may be measured instead of the adhesive forces holding them together.
