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 ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are integral to the organisation and function of the nervous system, mediating cell–cell interactions that underpin the formation and maintenance of neural networks.

Meet the most important molecules you’ve (probably) never thought about: adhesion molecules, proteins on the surface of cells that help them communicate and coordinate with each other. They’re vital ...

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 ...

Ji Xiao Niu, Wen Jian Zhang, Li Ya Ye, Lian Qiu Wu, Guang Jin Zhu, Zhi Hua Yang, Georges E. Grau and Jin Ning Lou Tumor metastasis is a complex process involving the interaction between tumor cells ...

Cell adhesion molecule L1, a key member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Its functions extend from guiding neuronal ...

Cells are the fundamental unit of life. The average human body contains around 30 trillion cells with varying functions and potentials. Communication between cells is central to the body’s ability to ...

Cells have certain proteins that help them adhere to each other while covering body surfaces and organs. Loss of these identifying proteins could result in cellular progression towards cancer and, ...

Researchers have created a synthetic “cellular glue” that can help cells bond together to different degrees. The technique could help speed up wound healing, even in tissues that don’t heal well ...

We can think of cells as the building blocks of living things. Every organ in your body, from your brain to your gut to your skin, is made up of highly specialized cells. But most cells don’t just ...

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 ...
