CD9 belongs to the tetraspanin superfamily. Depending on the cell type and associated
molecules, CD9 has a wide variety of biological activities such as cell adhesion, motility …

Tetraspanins (Tspans) are a family of four-span transmembrane proteins, known as plasma
membrane “master organizers.” They form Tspan-enriched microdomains (TEMs or TERMs) …

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), the third leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, is a
complex thrombotic disorder with environmental and genetic determinants. Although several …

Migrasomes are newly discovered cell organelles forming by local swelling of retraction
fibers. The migrasome formation critically depends on tetraspanin proteins present in the …

Multicellularity has evolved in several eukaryotic lineages leading to plants, fungi, and
animals. Theoretically, in each case, this involved (1) cell‐to‐cell adhesion with an …

Multicellularity has evolved at least once in every major eukaryotic clade (in all ploidy levels)
and numerous times among the prokaryotes. According to a standard multilevel selection …

Multiple membrane-shaping and remodeling processes are associated with tetraspanin
proteins by yet unknown mechanisms. Tetraspanins constitute a family of proteins with four …

ABSTRACT Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is the primary etiologic agent for
cervical cancer. The infectious entry of HPV16 into cells occurs via a so-far poorly …

The process of angiogenesis is quite well-known nowadays. Some medicines and extracts
affecting this process are already used routinely in supporting the conventional treatment of …

Norrin is a cysteine-rich growth factor that is required for angiogenesis in the eye, ear, brain,
and female reproductive organs. It functions as an atypical Wnt ligand by specifically binding …
