Penn State researchers have developed a technique they call “cellular snowballing,” in which lab-grown cells mixed with ...

Scientists led by Sergey Troyanovsky, Ph.D., professor of Dermatology and of Cell and Developmental Biology, have uncovered new intracellular mechanisms promoting cell-cell adhesion, a process ...

A physics-based model that accounts for membrane surface folds predicts cell adhesion on nanopillar arrays with 97% accuracy, ...

Cells are the fundamental unit of life. The average human body contains around 30 trillion cells with varying functions and potentials. Communication between cells is central to the body’s ability to ...

Cell adhesion molecule L1, a key member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Its functions extend from guiding neuronal ...

A new microfluidic technology that leverages immune cell behavior is set to transform cancer monitoring, thanks to researchers at UNIST. Led by Professor Joo Hun Kang in the Department of Biomedical ...

More than a billion years ago, amoebae split off from their sister eukaryotes, which later gave rise to animals. The talin protein (fluorescing red and white in this microscopic image) is found in ...

Cell culture materials impact a target cell’s ability to proliferate and function as planned. These materials offer precise mechanical and chemical cues that decide a cell's morphology and ...
