Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

Polymorphism and bistability in adherent cells
The optimal shapes attained by contractile cells on adhesive substrates are determined by the interplay between intracellular forces and adhesion with the extracellular matrix.

Structural basis for interdomain communication in SHIP2 providing high phosphatase activity
SH2-containing-inositol-5-phosphatases (SHIPs) dephosphorylate the 5-phosphate of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI(3,4,5)P3) and play important roles in regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway in physiology and disease.

STUDIES ON CELL ADHESION [PDF]
Normal and transformed baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells attach to Falcon polystyrene with the same first order rate constant. The longer the cells are attached to the bottles, the more difficult they are to remove. Sulfhydryl (—SH) binding reagents inhibit both the attachment of BHK cells and the increase in adhesive strength of attached cells. Attached

Biomimetic emulsions reveal the effect of homeostatic pressure on cell-cell adhesion
Cell-cell contacts in tissues are continuously subject to mechanical forces due to homeostatic pressure and active cytoskeleton dynamics. While much is known about the molecular pathways of adhesion, the role of mechanics is less well understood.

Hydroxyapatite promotes superior adhesion and proliferation of telomerase transformed keratocytes in comparison with inert plastic skirt materials used in leading contemporary keratoprostheses [PDF]
Aim: Published clinical series suggest the osteoodontokeratoprosthesis (OOKP) may have a lower extrusion rate than current synthetic keratoprostheses. The OOKP is anchored in the eye wall by autologous tooth.

Rho and Rab Family Small GTPases in the Regulation of Membrane Polarity in Epithelial Cells
Membrane polarity, defined as the asymmetric distribution of lipids and proteins in the plasma membrane, is a critical prerequisite for the development of multicellular tissues, such as epithelia and endothelia.
