Intravascular tissue factor initiates coagulation via circulating microvesicles and platelets [PDF]

, 2003
Although tissue factor (TF), the principial initiator of physiological coagulation and pathological thrombosis, has recently been proposed to be present in human blood, the functional significance and location of the intravascular TF is unknown.

So far, yet so close: α-Catenin dimers help migrating cells get together [PDF]

, 2017
Epithelial cells in tissues use their actin cytoskeletons to stick together, whereas unattached cells make active plasma membrane protrusions to migrate. In this issue, Wood et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201612006) show that the

Neutrophil and monocyte kinetics play critical roles in mouse peritoneal adhesion formation

Blood Advances, 2019
Peritoneal adhesions are pathological fibroses that ensnare organs after abdominal surgery. This dense connective tissue can cause small bowel obstruction, female infertility, and chronic abdominal pain.

Morphological features and molecular mechanisms in peritoneal adhesions from patients with chronic abdominal postoperative painResearch in context

EBioMedicine
Summary: Background: Chronic abdominal pain affects 10–20% of all patients following abdominal surgery, with adhesions as a predominant cause. However, the biological mechanisms underlying adhesion-related pain are not fully elucidated. This study aimed

Tissue adhesives and sealants [PDF]

Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2003
Rapid and secure tissue adherence using adhesives or sealants is an attractive concept. Cyanoacrylates, marine adhesive proteins, fibrin-based sealants, and mixtures of polypeptides and proteoglycans to form "laser solders" are just some of the products and technologies that have been used.

Cell migration on material-driven fibronectin microenvironments [PDF]

, 2017
Cell migration is a fundamental process involved in a wide range of biological phenomena. However, how the underlying mechanisms that control migration are orchestrated is not fully understood.

α2β1 integrins spatially restrict Cdc42 activity to stabilise adherens junctions

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Keratinocytes form the main protective barrier in the skin to separate the underlying tissue from the external environment. In order to maintain this barrier, keratinocytes form robust junctions between neighbouring cells as well as with the ...

ATRA mechanically reprograms pancreatic stellate cells to suppress matrix remodelling and inhibit cancer cell invasion [PDF]

, 2016
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a dismal survival rate. Persistent activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) can perturb the biomechanical homoeostasis of the tumour microenvironment to favour cancer ...
