Cell-cell adhesion-induced patterning in keratinocytes can be explained by just starvation and strong adhesion, Hokkaido University researchers find. Fingerprints are one of the best-recognised ...

Certain antibodies employ unusual tactics to keep germs from attaching to cells in our bodies. Their defensive strategies ...

Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines ...

The role of RNAs keeps growing and growing. New research shows that cell surface RNAs are critical in neutrophil recruitment to inflammatory sites. These “glycoRNAs” on the cell surface of neutrophils ...

RNA is thought to be a stay-at-home kind of molecule, often comfortably confined within the cell’s interior. So, when RNA molecules were detected on the surface of several cell types, researchers ...

In 2021, the lab of chemical biologist and Nobel Laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, professor at Stanford University, characterized a new type of cell-surface protein, termed glycoRNAs, that form highly ...

Scientists have found that antibodies stop UTI-causing E. coli by jamming or mimicking cell receptors, preventing bacterial ...

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 ...

Scientists overturned long-held assumptions in that finds water can be a help for adhesion. The implications of this research are particularly in biomedical applications such as bandages, health ...
