A research team at Leipzig University has identified a mechanism in adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (adhesion GPCRs), a ...

Light has long been known to regulate plant growth. New research from Osaka Metropolitan University has discovered a new ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the cadherin and immunoglobulin superfamilies mediate cell–cell adhesion by engaging in homophilic and heterophilic interactions and, therefore, promote the formation ...

The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...

A research team discovers universal mechanism that leads to adhesion hysteresis in soft materials. Through a combination of experimental observations and simulations, the team demonstrated that ...

Light-induced accumulation of p-coumaric acid enhances adhesion between the outer and inner tissues, which contributes to ...

Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) can be serious, but it’s treatable. It involves two parts of your eye. One is the vitreous, or the “jelly” part that fills the eyeball. The other is the macula, a small ...

Intrauterine pathology can be best assessed at the time of hysteroscopy. Operative hysteroscopy also allows the physician to treat any pathology he or she finds. Polyps, fibroids, or congenital ...

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed a renewable adhesive that allows for repeated bonding and debonding, and can reset the substrate and adhesive to their original state ...

Tissue structures are determined by both cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion, with the latter describing interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is the ...

Photosensitive polymer films are commonly utilized as a dielectric layer in microelectronics packaging. The performance of the organic film is determined by the adhesion quality between the polymer ...
