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 ...

“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,” ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice ...

Cells attach to each other through carefully arranged molecules. A research team has now found that the way they organize to find their proper places is similar to how grease drops self-organize in ...
