Cell adhesion molecules in the CNS [PDF]
Cell-cell adhesions are important for brain morphology and highly coordinated brain functions such as memory and learning ([Sanes and Yamagata, 1999][1]; [Yamagata et al., 2003][2]; [Washbourne et al., 2004][3]).

The role of epithelial cell adhesion molecule N-glycosylation on apoptosis in breast cancer cells
Glycosylation of cell surface proteins plays an important role in the regulation of apoptosis. It has been demonstrated that knockdown of epithelial cell adhesion molecule promoted apoptosis, inhibited cell proliferation, and caused cell-cycle arrest. In

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 ...

Cultured microvascular endothelial cells derived from the bovine corpus luteum possess NCAM-140 [PDF]
Previously, five phenotypically different, stable types of microvascular endothelial cells (MVE) were isolated from the bovine corpus and cultured successfully. We found that three out of these five types of MVE express the neural cell adhesion molecule (

Thioredoxin1 downregulates oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced adhesion molecule expression via Smad3 protein. [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation disease that is initiated by endothelial cell injury. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is directly associated with chronic vascular inflammation. To understand whether thioredoxin1 (Trx1) participates in

Pcdh11x controls target specification of mossy fiber sprouting
Circuit formation is a defining characteristic of the developing brain. However, multiple lines of evidence suggest that circuit formation can also take place in adults, the mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the epilepsy-

Adiponectin improves coronary no-reflow injury by protecting the endothelium in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [PDF]
To determine the effect of adiponectin (APN) on the coronary no-reflow (NR) injury in rats with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a high-sugar-high-fat diet to build a T2DM model.
