Pullulan, an α-glucan polysaccharide, is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic,
highly biocompatible, edible and biodegradable in nature. The long chains of …

Pullulan is a water soluble exo-polysaccharide produced by yeast like fungus
Aureobasidium pullulans. Pullulan structure have a unique characteristic ie co-existence of …

Integrin receptor binding to extracellular matrix proteins generates intracellular signals via
enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation events that are important for cell growth, survival, and …

Cell adhesion mediated by integrin receptors has a critical function in organizing cells in
tissues and in guiding haematopoietic cells to their sites of action. However, integrin …

The aim of this study was to modify the surfaces of superparamagnetic iron oxide
nanoparticles (SPION) with pullulan in order to reduce the cytotoxicity and enhance the …

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase localized at focal
adhesions and is believed to mediate adhesion-stimulated effects. Although ablation of FAK …

Integrins contribute to cell growth by providing a physical linkage between cytoskeletal
structures and the extracellular matrix, and also by participating in various signal …

Interactions of cells with the extracellular matrix are essential for the control of tissue
remodelling, cell migration, and embryogenesis. At the cell–extracellular matrix contact …

In this report, we have analyzed the potential role and mechanisms of integrin signaling
through FAK in cell cycle regulation by using tetracycline-regulated expression of …

Integrin cytoplasmic domains may interact directly with serveral different cytoskeletal
proteins and intracellular signaling molecules. Also, integrins interact directly with other …
