Dual function of Slit2 in repulsion and enhanced migration of trunk, but not vagal, neural crest cells [PDF]
, 2003 Neural crest precursors to the autonomic nervous system form different derivatives depending upon their axial level of origin; for example, vagal, but not trunk, neural crest cells form the enteric ganglia of the gut.

Protein connectivity in chemotaxis receptor complexes [PDF]
, 2015 The chemotaxis sensory system allows bacteria such as Escherichia coli to swim towards nutrients and away from repellents. The underlying pathway is remarkably sensitive in detecting chemical gradients over a wide range of ambient concentrations. Interactions among receptors, which are predominantly clustered at the cell poles, are crucial to this ...

Adhesion of membranes via receptor-ligand complexes: Domain formation, binding cooperativity, and active processes [PDF]
, 2009 Cell membranes interact via anchored receptor and ligand molecules. Central questions on cell adhesion concern the binding affinity of these membrane-anchored molecules, the mechanisms leading to the receptor-ligand domains observed during adhesion, and the role of cytoskeletal and other active processes.

Effects of Ox-LDL on Macrophages NAD(P)H Autofluorescence Changes by Two-photon Microscopy [PDF]
Dans European Nano Systems Worshop - ENS 2005, Paris : France
(2005), 2007 Ox-LDL uptakes by macrophage play a critical role in the happening of atherosclerosis. Because of its low damage on observed cells and better signal-to- background ratio, two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy is used to observe NAD(P)H autofluorescence of macrophage under difference cultured conditions- bare cover glass, coated with fibronectin

Bistability of cell-matrix adhesions resulting from non-linear receptor-ligand dynamics [PDF]
, 2006 Bistability is a major mechanism for cellular decision making and usually results from positive feedback in biochemical control systems. Here we show theoretically that bistability between unbound and bound states of adhesion clusters results from ...

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2014 The mechanisms by which prostate cancer (PCa) cell adhesion and migration are controlled during metastasis are not well understood. Here, we studied the effect of CXCL12 in PCa cell adhesion and spreading in DU145 and PC3 cell lines using as substrates ...

The role of collagen in cancer: from bench to bedside
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2019 Collagen is the major component of the tumor microenvironment and participates in cancer fibrosis. Collagen biosynthesis can be regulated by cancer cells through mutated genes, transcription factors, signaling pathways and receptors; furthermore ...
