Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly ...

Cell, tissue, and organ structure is maintained by cell-cell adhesion molecules that connect opposing cells. Cadherins are a class of essential cell-cell adhesion molecules for tissue formation ...

Cell adhesion molecules are ubiquitous, specifying precise cell–cell interactions in many, diverse, cellular processes. Now, researchers have engineered molecules that act like “cellular glue ...

This adherence is facilitated by specialized proteins called cell-cell adhesion molecules, which extend from neighboring cells and link to each other. One class of cell-cell adhesion molecules is ...

Microscale 3D printed arches guide cells to form natural self-bonds, improving how soft tissue attaches to medical implants ...

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is a serious kidney disease in children with no clear cause. In a recent study, researchers have identified a novel autoantibody targeting vinculin—a protein ...

New findings show that cancer cells can invade new tissues while staying connected by taking sporadic, long leaps. This ...

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 ...
