Metastasis is a dynamic succession of events involving the dissemination of tumour cells to
distant sites within the body, ultimately reducing the survival of patients with cancer. To …

Cells can detect and react to the biophysical properties of the extracellular environment
through integrin-based adhesion sites and adapt to the extracellular milieu in a process …

Hydrogel adhesion inherently relies on engineering the contact surface at soft and hydrated
interfaces. Upon contact, adhesion normally occurs through the formation of chemical or …

INTRODUCTION For T cells to mount an adaptive immune response and enact cell-
mediated immunity, they must first successfully detect rare cognate antigen. This detection is …

The adhesive interactions of cells with other cells and with the extracellular matrix are crucial
to all developmental processes, but have a central role in the functions of the immune …

Thoroughly revised and reorganized, the second edition of Interfacial Forces in Aqueous
Media examines the role of polar interfacial and noncovalent interactions among biological …

Mechanotransduction-how cells sense physical forces and translate them into biochemical
and biological responses-is a vibrant and rapidly-progressing field, and is important for a …

Biological adhesion is frequently mediated by specific membrane proteins (adhesion
molecules). Starting with the notion of adhesion molecules, we present a simple model of …

Abstract SEROTONIN (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a monoaminergic neurotransmitter that
is believed to modulate numerous sensory, motor and behavioural processes in the …

Receptors: Models for Binding, Trafficking, and Signaling bridges the gap between chemical
engineering and cell biology by lucidly and practically demonstrating how a mathematical …
