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.

“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,” ...

Using a novel method that gives a readout of which proteins are in specific locations within cells, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in cell ...

Scientists led by Sergey Troyanovsky, Ph.D., professor of Dermatology and of Cell and Developmental Biology, have uncovered new intracellular mechanisms promoting cell-cell adhesion, a process ...

A new review reveals how focal adhesion kinase (FAK) acts as a central regulator of tumor progression and immune suppression ...
