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 ...

The cells of all animals—including humans—are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their ...

Cell adhesion may be initiated by small proteins previously viewed as helpers, not main players in attachment. “Focus has been on how cells become mechanosensitive, how cell adhesion became ...

A team of researchers develops stem cell adhesive for arthritis treatment using mussel adhesion protein and hyaluronic acid. Cartilage is a tissue that protects bones by providing shock absorption and ...

The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team has uncovered new mechanisms in blood vessel formation. The ...

A team of international researchers led by scientists at City of Hope ®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, with its National ...

In recent news, there has been a case where a patient experienced pain due to a surgical procedure involving sutures, resulting in the unintended presence of gauze within the patient's body. Gauze is ...

Schematic representation of axonal transport vesicles (blue) carrying presynaptic proteins (SV and AZ proteins). Kinesin motor proteins (KIF1A) attach these vesicles and carry them along the axons to ...
