Synaptic Cell Adhesion [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2012
Chemical synapses are asymmetric intercellular junctions that mediate synaptic transmission. Synaptic junctions are organized by trans-synaptic cell adhesion molecules bridging the synaptic cleft. Synaptic cell adhesion molecules not only connect pre- and postsynaptic compartments, but also mediate trans-synaptic recognition and signaling processes ...

Mathematical modelling of cancer invasion : implications of cell adhesion variability for tumour infiltrative growth patterns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Cancer invasion, recognised as one of the hallmarks of cancer, is a complex, multiscale phenomenon involving many inter-related genetic, biochemical, cellular and tissue processes at different spatial and temporal scales.

Identification and characterization of cell adhesion molecules controlling synapse stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Neuronal circuits form the basis of a functional nervous system to process and integrate information and to react to environmental cues. The formation of functional synaptic connections between neurons is essential for the establishment of these circuits.

Circulating LPS from gut microbiota leverages stenosis-induced deep vein thrombosis in mice

open access: yesThrombosis Journal, 2023
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 ...

The Lectin-Like Domain of Thrombomodulin Inhibits β1 Integrin-Dependent Binding of Human Breast Cancer-Derived Cell Lines to Fibronectin

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
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 ...

On the adhesion of vesicles by cell adhesion molecules

open access: yesBiophysical 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.

Measuring cell adhesion forces with the atomic force microscope at the molecular level [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
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 ...

Cell Cycle Regulation by Integrin-Mediated Adhesion

open access: yes, 2022
Cell cycle and cell adhesion are two interdependent cellular processes regulating each other, reciprocally, in every cell cycle phase. The cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) via integrin receptors triggers signaling pathways required for the

A Method to Culture GABAergic Interneurons Derived from the Medial Ganglionic Eminence

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Understanding the mechanisms guiding interneuron development is a central aspect of the current research on cortical/hippocampal interneurons, which is highly relevant to brain function and pathology.
