Our bodies comprise different tissues and organs, which are composed of many cells that must adhere to form functional higher order structures. This adherence is facilitated by specialized proteins ...

The immune system plays a dual role in inflammation and cancer development. Immune system effector cells quickly identify and destroy malignant cells, but immune system-mediated inflammation regulates ...

The cells of all animals—including humans—are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their environment. This mechanically stable adhesion enables the development of ...

Surgical adhesions—common, sometimes life-threatening complications that arise after open or laparoscopic abdominal ...

Up to 90% of abdominal surgeries result in adhesions -- abnormal scarring that ties together organs and tissues. A gel has now been shown to prevented adhesions in mice and pigs. Surgical adhesions -- ...

Surgical adhesions - common, sometimes life-threatening complications that arise after open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery - can be prevented in mice and pigs by a gel impregnated with a molecule ...

The immune system plays a dual role in inflammation and cancer development. Immune system effector cells rapidly recognize and kill malignant cells; meanwhile, immune system-mediated inflammation ...
