Cooperativity between cell contractility and adhesion.
In living cells, the cytoskeleton connects to the extracellular environment through focal adhesions, multimolecular structures that can sense applied force. A model is presented that for the first time explains why the focal adhesions tend to high-curvature regions at the cell periphery. It is based on experimental evidence for positive feedback between adhesion formation and assembly of actomy...
متن کاملPattern formation during T-cell adhesion.
T cells form intriguing patterns during adhesion to antigen-presenting cells. The patterns are composed of two types of domains, which either contain short TCR/MHCp receptor-ligand complexes or the longer LFA-1/ICAM-1 complexes. The final pattern consists of a central TCR/MHCp domain surrounded by a ring-shaped LFA-1/ICAM-1 domain, whereas the characteristic pattern formed at intermediate times...
متن کاملMethylene Blue Prevents Post-Surgical Adhesion Formation in the Rabbit
Peritoneal adhesions are challenging in abdominal surgery. In spite of different kinds of treatments still no definitive and effective treatment is suggested. To determine the prevention effects of intraperitoneal (ip) methylene blue in post surgical adhesion formation 44 rabbits were randomly divided in two groups of equal number. Group I received an intra peritoneal injection of a 1% suspensi...
متن کاملIntegrin regulation of cell-cell adhesion during epithelial tubule formation.
The extracellular matrix plays an important role in regulation of epithelial development and organization. To determine more precisely the function of extracellular matrix in this process, the initial steps in collagen-mediated formation of epithelial tubules were studied using a model cell culture system. Previous studies have demonstrated that incubation of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) ep...
متن کاملCell adhesion and synapse formation
Although numerous molecules have been associated with synaptic cell adhesion, there has been little conclusive evidence linking them to specific effects on synapse formation and function. By searching vertebrate sequence databanks, a novel homophilic synaptic cell adhesion molecule called SynCAM has been found which is homologous to members of the immunoglobulin-like (Ig) superfamily and in vit...
