Integrin alpha v beta 3 is distinct in its capacity to recognize the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) in many extra-cellular matrix (ECM) components. Here, we demonstrate that in addition to the recognition of ECM components, alpha v beta 3 can interact with the neural cell adhesion molecule L1-CAM; a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). M21 melanoma cells displayed significant Ca(++)-dep...

PURPOSE We found previously that fibronectin (FN) has a cryptic functional site (YTIYVIAL sequence within the 14th type III repeat) opposing cell adhesion to extracellular matrix. A 22-mer FN peptide containing this site, termed FNIII14, inhibits beta1 integrin-mediated adhesion without binding to integrins. The present study shows that FNIII14 has the potential to prevent lymphoma cell metasta...

conclusions the impact of sugars and other factors on biofilm formation can vary depending on the type of bacteria present. results results showed that the presence of sugars has no effect on the bacterial growth rate; all three concentrations of sugars were hydrophilic and demonstrated a high affinity toward binding to the surfaces. background bacteria utilize various methods in order to live ...
