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 ...

To understand the effect of processing and co-monomer content on interfacial adhesion, we quantified adhesion levels of bilayers of a polyethylene (PE) with various polypropylenes (PPs) prepared using ...

Adhesion GPCRs are a large class of surface proteins that recognize chemical and mechanical stimuli in the body. The rapidly expanding body of knowledge on the therapeutic targeting of these receptors ...

The immune system plays a dual role in inflammation and cancer development. Immune system effector cells quickly identify and destroy malignant cells, but immune system-mediated inflammation regulates ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists overturned long-held assumptions in that finds water can be a help for adhesion. The implications of this research are particularly in biomedical applications such as bandages, health ...

Power semiconductor packages are used in high temperature, high voltage environments. With the increase of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) in the automotive market, demands ...

Spider silk is light and delicate, while incredibly resilient and tear-resistant. Understanding the structure and way of construction of these threads is a challenge. Now scientists have examined five ...

It's been about four years since an obstetrician opened her belly to seek the source of her chronic abdominal pain. He discovered her uterus had stuck to her bladder, the result of excessive scar ...
