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 ...
A recent article in Small highlights a new method for studying tumor cell interactions and testing anti-metastatic drugs through the development of an Under-oil Open Microfluidic System (UOMS). This ...
Fibrosis, resulting from excess extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is a feature of adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction and obesity-related insulin resistance.
While many of the stages of the cell-mediated immune response are known, the mechanisms by which various white blood cells can specifically bind (and release) to initiation proteins are not as well ...
