“Cell migration is required and essential for metazoan development, tissue regeneration and repair, as well as in immune surveillance. Many diseases such as cancer, fibrosis, and inherited ...
Cells have surface receptors called integrins that bind to repetitive domains present on the extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding the cells, allowing them to grow and spread. A new study from the ...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) initiates mechanical cues that activate intracellular signaling through matrix–cell interactions. In blood vessels, additional mechanical cues derived from the pulsatile ...
In a recent study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers assess the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif-mediated binding of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the severe acute respiratory ...
