In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

How do cells forming organs or repairing tissues know when to stop growing? Adhesion receptors act as molecular fingertips that sense the environment and then coordinate behaviors.

Scientists from Germany and Italy have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. “Focus has been on how cells become mechanosensitive, how cell adhesion became mechanosensitive through the recruitment of mechanosensitive proteins like talin, ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a group of cell-surface sensors associated with many body functions and diseases. However, they are not yet sufficiently understood to be exploited ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

A group of researchers from Arizona State University and University of Arizona have published their work on a new treatment ...

One key player in this process is integrin, a protein found on the surface of cells that facilitates adhesion, helping them stick to other surfaces. In this scenario, integrin is what the white ...
