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.

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 ...

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, ...

This graphic illustrates paracrine adhesion signaling on small extracellular vesicles, which secretes a protein called galectin-3, which promotes endocytosis so the vesicle can be absorbed into the ...

The test can be used to better stratify cancer patients and determine the likelihood of breast cancer metastasizing.

Diseases associated with mechanosensitive adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs). Different colors are used to distinguish diseases related to different receptors. SHANNON, CLARE ...
