Vascular adhesion proteins constitute a specialised class of endothelial surface molecules that orchestrate the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of tissue injury or infection. Among these, vascular ...

The vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1), also known as semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), is a multifunctional enzyme located on endothelial cell surfaces. It not only mediates the adhesion ...

Short ultraviolet/ozone (UVO) treatment optimizes cell adhesion on plastic culture substrates by selectively enriching adhesion proteins, as reported by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo.

S100A11 is a small Ca 2+-activatable protein with an established role in different cellular processes involving actin cytoskeleton remodeling, such as cell migration, membrane protrusion formation, ...

“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,” ...

A non-toxic coating developed by researchers at University of Toronto Engineering prevents proteins from sticking to surfaces - potentially offering a new tool in the fight against hospital-acquired ...

Structure and the tethered activation mechanism of aGPCRs. (A) The basic structure of aGPCRs. This article highlights the critical role of mechanosensitive aGPCRs in human health and disease, setting ...
