How do changes in adhesion and migration pathways underlie immune disorders, developmental defects and cancer cell invasion and metastasis? Clearly, understanding the fundamental mechanisms that ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup.

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an "outside in" signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, ...

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. Aa Aa Aa In ...

July 27, 2021 — New research has uncovered an essential mechanism coordinating the processes of cell division and adhesion within humans. This discovery has profound potential for advancing ...

Researchers at Leipzig University’s Faculty of Medicine and Shandong University in China have discovered a new mechanism that ...

These molecules, upregulated in cancer cells, are excreted through a surprising mechanism—lysosomal exocytosis ... doors to understanding cancer cell adhesion and migration and exploring ...

A team of researchers at Åbo Akademi University in Finland made a surprising discovery. They found that Talin-1, a protein primarily known for its role in cell adhesion at the periphery of the ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an 'outside in' signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other ...
