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 ...

Nearly 40 years ago, researchers identified the epidermal growth factor (EGF) domain as a key component in mussel adhesive proteins. Since then, similar adhesive proteins have been discovered in a ...

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 ...
