A research team has uncovered the molecular mechanism behind the remarkable underwater adhesion of hairy mussels. Their findings reveal an oxidation-independent adhesion process driven by interactions ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a group of cell-surface sensors associated with many body functions and diseases. However, they are not yet sufficiently understood to be exploited for ...

A team of researchers at Åbo Akademi University in Finland made a surprising discovery. They found that Talin-1, a protein ...

Adhesion dynamics are regulated by complex feedback loops with Rho proteins and a poorly understood reciprocity between Rac and Rho activation that is mediated through the action of guanine ...

Adhesion GPCRs are a group of cell-surface sensors associated with many body functions and diseases. However, they are not yet sufficiently understood to be exploited for therapies. Scientists have ...

They observed that this adhesion site is transformed into a hollow space like halves of a nutshell with a sticky adhesive ring on the side. In this process, the protein Rasip1 plays an important ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors are a large class of membrane proteins that detect chemical and mechanical stimuli in the body. The GAIN domain ...

Researchers have developed a standardized numbering system for adhesion GPCRs, improving knowledge transfer and disease analysis. This AI-driven system, based on 14,000 modelled structures, ...

The tick’s sticky, protein-rich saliva transforms into a solid cement cone ... a marine biologist at the University of Lisbon who researches sea urchin adhesion and was not involved in the study.

Our research focuses on studies on the molecular structure and mechanism of proteins, recently mostly on the endoplasmic reticulum proteins involved in cellular stress signalling, including in ...

underscoring their critical role in cancer cell adhesion, migration, and tumor progression," said Morihisa Fujita, author and researcher of the study. Paucimannosidic proteins are revealed to be ...
