Proteins in the sheath of cellular protrusions control how effectively cells can adhere to surfaces. Biological cells often ...

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 ...

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 ...
