Cell adhesion underpins a vast array of physiological processes, from tissue morphogenesis and wound healing to immune surveillance and metastasis. At its core, adhesion involves the coordinated ...

Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells can also migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This harmonious movement of cells occurs during embryonic development, wound ...

“Focus has been on how cells become mechanosensitive, how cell adhesion became mechanosensitive through the recruitment of mechanosensitive proteins like talin, vinculin, and also other proteins,” ...

Cell-cell adhesion-induced patterning in keratinocytes can be explained by just starvation and strong adhesion, Hokkaido University researchers find. Fingerprints are one of the best-recognised ...

Time-lapse movie of the hub molecule afadin when momentarily released from the cytoskeleton. Quickly, it convenes in droplets, revealing the mechanism it employs to direct cellular attachment to the ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, demonstrate how morphogens combined with cell adhesion can generate tissue domains with a sharp boundary in an in vitro ...

Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells too can migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This harmonious ...
