The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2015 As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.

A-to-I RNA editing of Filamin A regulates cellular adhesion, migration and mechanical properties. [PDF]
FEBS J, 2022 A‐to‐I RNA editing by ADARs is an abundant epitranscriptomic RNA‐modification in metazoa. In mammals, Flna pre‐mRNA harbours a single conserved A‐to‐I RNA editing site that introduces a Q‐to‐R amino acid change in Ig repeat 22 of the encoded protein ...

Contour Models of Cellular Adhesion [PDF]
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 2019 The development of traction-force microscopy, in the past two decades, has created the unprecedented opportunity of performing direct mechanical measurements on living cells as they adhere or crawl on uniform or micro-patterned substrates. Simultaneously, this has created the demand for a theoretical framework able to decipher the experimental ...
