Adhesion dynamics are regulated by complex feedback loops with Rho proteins and a poorly understood reciprocity between Rac and Rho activation that is mediated through the action of guanine ...

In addition, the scientists varied the surface roughness of their SAM@SURMOF systems in the nanometer range, thereby further reducing the water adhesion strength. Even with extremely small ...

Thus, much of the load of forming a vesicle or a lamellipodium should be the energy of membrane–cytoskeleton adhesion. Figure 1: The energetics of endocytic vesicle formation are similar to ...

University of Waterloo researchers have pinpointed for the first time how microplastics accumulate in coral reefs, a key step ...
