Mussel adhesion is dictated by time-regulated secretion and molecular conformation of mussel adhesive proteins
Interfacial water constitutes a formidable barrier to strong surface bonding, hampering the development of water-resistant synthetic adhesives. Notwithstanding this obstacle, the Asian green mussel Perna viridis attaches firmly to underwater surfaces via a proteinaceous secretion (byssus). Extending beyond the currently known design principles of mussel adhesion, here we elucidate the precise t...
متن کاملPathogenic interactions between Helicobacter pylori adhesion protein HopQ and human cell surface adhesion molecules CEACAMs in gastric epithelial cells
Objective(s): The present paper aims to review the studies describing the interactions between HopQ and CEACAMs along with possible mechanisms responsible for pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori.Materials and Methods: The literature was searched on “PubMed” using different key words including Helicobacter pylori, CEACAM and gastric.<br ...
متن کاملNanoscale surface modification of wood veneers for adhesion
Surface chemistry of wood is based on the exposed cut surface that is the combination of intact (lumen wall) and cut cell wall material. It is inherently complex and changes with history of processing. Modification of wood surface through noncovalent attachment of amine containing water soluble polyelectrolytes provides a path to create functional surfaces in a controlled manner. Furthermore, m...
متن کاملProtein conformation as a regulator of cell-matrix adhesion.
The dynamic regulation of cell-matrix adhesion is essential for tissue homeostasis and architecture, and thus numerous pathologies are linked to altered cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interaction and ECM scaffold. The molecular machinery involved in cell-matrix adhesion is complex and involves both sensory and matrix-remodelling functions. In this review, we focus on how protein conformation c...
متن کاملNeuronal adhesion and differentiation driven by nanoscale surface free-energy gradients.
Recent results indicate that, in addition to chemical, spatial and mechanical cues, substrate physical cues such as gradients in surface energy may also impact cell functions, such as neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. However, it remains to be determined what surface effect is the most critical in triggering PC12 cell differentiation. Here we show that, beyond continuously probing the sur...
