Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Epigenetic regulation of cellular adhesion in cancer [PDF]
Carcinogenesis, 2011 Epigenetics describes the development and maintenance of stable heritable gene expression patterns, which allow cells to show different phenotypes despite of a commonly shared genetic code. The increasing knowledge in this field during the last decades reveals its importance for many physiological processes like differentiation, embryogenesis and ...

Unwrapping the Ciliary Coat: High‐Resolution Structure and Function of the Ciliary Glycocalyx
Advanced ScienceThe glycocalyx, a highly heterogeneous glycoprotein layer of cilia regulates adhesion and force transduction and is involved in signaling. The high‐resolution molecular architecture of this layer is currently not understood.

Contractile forces at tricellular contacts modulate epithelial organization and monolayer integrity
Nature Communications, 2017 EpCAM is an unconventional epithelia-specific cell–cell adhesion molecule, that is mutated in the majority of cases of Congenital Tufting Enteropathy. Here the authors show that loss of EpCAM causes a concentration of contractile activity at tricellular ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Cellular Adhesion Molecules in Urologic Malignancies [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1997 Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are important in cell-cell interaction and interactions between cells and components of the extracellular matrix. CAMs have been associated with invasion and metastasis in a wide variety of human malignancies, including tumors of the genitourinary tract.
