Cell adhesion is essential in cell communication and regulation, and is of fundamental
importance in the development and maintenance of tissues. The mechanical interactions …

Gastrulation is a fundamental phase of animal embryogenesis during which germ layers are
specified, rearranged, and shaped into a body plan with organ rudiments. Gastrulation …

Cell-generated mechanical forces play a critical role during tissue morphogenesis and
organ formation in the embryo. Little is known about how these forces shape embryonic …

The controlled adhesion of cells to each other and to the extracellular matrix is crucial for
tissue development and maintenance. Numerous assays have been developed to quantify …

Quantitative analysis of cellular interactions with the extracellular environment is necessary
to gain an understanding of how cells regulate adhesion in the development and …

Understanding the fundamental forces involved in the adhesion of microbial cells is
important not only in microbiology, to elucidate cellular functions (such as ligand-binding or …

Together with cell growth, division and death, changes in cell shape are of central
importance for tissue morphogenesis during development. Cell shape is the product of a …

Cell–cell adhesion is a complex process that is involved in the tethering of cells, cell–cell
communication, tissue formation, cell migration and the development and metastasis of …

Neuroplasticity subsequent to functional angiogenesis is an important goal for cell-based
therapy of ischemic neural tissues. At present, the cellular and molecular mechanisms …

Wnt11 plays a central role in tissue morphogenesis during vertebrate gastrulation, but the
molecular and cellular mechanisms by which Wnt11 exerts its effects remain poorly …
