Cell adhesion receptors in C. elegans.
C. elegans has numerous putative cell adhesion receptors, many of which have vertebrate homologues. The simple body plan of C. elegans, its optical transparency and genetic tractability make it well suited for the study of adhesion receptors and their associated complexes (reviewed by Cox and Hardin in this issue, pp. 1885-1897). We focus here on receptors that are likely to directly mediate ad...
متن کاملCell adhesion receptors in lymphoma dissemination.
Regulated lymphocyte trafficking is essential for the control and integration of systemic immune responses. This homing process disperses the immunologic repertoire, guides lymphocyte subsets to the specialized microenvironments that control their differentiation and survival, and targets immune effector cells to sites of antigenic insult. This review discusses data indicating that the adhesion...
متن کاملAdvanced Cell Technology, Inc
Advanced Cell Technology [4], Inc. (ACT) is a biotechnology company that uses stem cell technology to develop novel therapies in the field of regenerative medicine [5]. Formed in 1994, ACT grew from a small agricultural cloning [6] research facility located in Worcester, Massachusetts, into a multi-locational corporation involved in using both human embryonic stem cells [7] (hESC) and human adu...
متن کاملkin tight: cell adhesion in the epidermis of aenorhabditis elegans
The powerful genetics, genomics and microscopy tools available for C. elegans make it well suited to studying how epithelial cells adhere to one another and the extracellular matrix, and how the integrated, simultaneous activities of multiple cell adhesion complexes function to shape an organism. Recent studies using forward and reverse genetics have shed light on how phylogenetically conserved...
متن کاملCancer Cell Mechanics: Adhesion G Protein-coupled Receptors in Action?
In mammals, numerous organ systems are equipped with adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs) to shape cellular processes including migration, adhesion, polarity and guidance. All of these cell biological aspects are closely associated with tumor cell biology. Consistently, aberrant expression or malfunction of aGPCRs has been associated with dysplasia and tumorigenesis. Mounting evidence ...
