Adhesion molecules are found invirusesand are essential for viral cells to adhere to host cell membranes. For example, on the surface of the influenza virushemagglutininis present. It is essential for the identification of the sugar sialic acid on the host surface cell. The human immunodeficiency ...
cases but the scratch test critical load may give an indication of the resistance to scratch damage of the coated surface. Sign in to download full-size image Fig. 2.(a) Scanning electron micrographs (backscattered image) of scratch tracks in a 100nm aluminium coating on 304 stainless steel ...
(McKeown et al., 2013). Here, we focus on another embryonic cell population with unique morphogenetic properties, the placodal cells. Cranial placodes are discrete patches of ectodermal cells which give rise to crucial parts ofsensory organsand ganglia in the vertebrate head, including the...
The gallol group17, which occurs naturally in plants and has one more hydroxy group than the catechol group used by mussels, has recently received attention for designing underwater and medical adhesives18,19. For example, our previous reports17,20demonstrated that gallol-based underwater adhesives ...
Cell migration is an important biological phenomenon involved in many homeostatic and aberrant physiological processes. Phosphorylation of the focal adhesion adaptor protein, paxillin, on serine 273 (S273) has been implicated as a key regulator of cell m
To quantitate the amount of spreading, each image was analyzed with the NIH Image 1.61 application to determine the total amount of area covered by cells and this number was divided by the total number of cells in the image to give an average area per cell (in pixels2/cell). Cell ...
tests which could give a comparatively reliable assessment of hydrophobic surface's icephobicity, while the hydrophobic of this coating needs to be upgraded according to the average contact angle of 127°. Meanwhile, an abrasion resistance is still needed to investigate the life cycle in further ...
An example can be found in Fig.2, where treated (red curve) and untreated (blue curve) cells make sigmoid curves and each of them consists of three distinct stages: early delay, rapid cell contraction, and saturation. Two time-constants apparent in this diagram\(\tau _1\)and\(\tau _2...
This latex may then be formulated in its present form or may be atomized in the presence of an anticaking agent (for example kaolin or silica) to obtain a water-redispersible powder. Characteristics of the Latex Forming the Subject of the Invention ...
The large size and multidomain structure of this molecule give it the potential to span the basement membrane, mediate the interactions of multiple basement membrane components, and interact with receptors at basal cell surfaces adjacent to basement membrane. Several extracellular matrix proteins are ...
