Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable ...

Cell adhesion is the process by which cells form contacts with each other or with their substratum through specialized protein complexes. Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens ...

There is a trial of strength at the cellular level. Cells are in constant competition with each other and so eliminate ...

UC San Diego researchers have developed a device that predicts breast cancer aggressiveness by measuring tumor cell adhesion. Weakly adherent cells indicate a higher risk of metastasis, especially in ...

The test can be used to better stratify cancer patients and determine the likelihood of breast cancer metastasizing.
