PURPOSE: To provide an electrode body for adhesion on a human body which is simple in electrode mounting work, causes less dermatitis and eliminates the need for mounting electrodes here and there at the body by adhering an electrode set consisting of a plus electrode, minus electrode and ...
It is now appropriate to consider how cell adhesion is involved in tissue function and cell behavior. Junctions Maintain Epithelial Barrier Function and Polarity More than 200 different cell types exist in the human body, and perhaps surprisingly, about 65% of these are epithelial; that is, they...
The human body possesses highly specialized cellular defense mechanisms that, when activated pathologically, can induce a number of immunologic disorders. For a normal cellular immune response, the following conditions must be fulfilled: (1) accumulation of white blood cells, (2) their diapedesis throu...
In nature, the adhesions of tendons, ligaments, and cartilages to bones are commonly achieved through a transitional interface (Fig.1a), from the uncalcified collagen nanofibrils (i) to the calcified collagen nanofibrils (ii) to the bones (iii) (Fig.1b)8. At the interface (ii), nanostruct...
(Defize et al., 1989). EGFR is often highly expressed in a variety of human tumors (Dei Tos and Ellis, 2005). The capability of assessing the functional output of EGFR signaling has allowed the outside-in perspective to be exploited in investigations of the roles of EGFR in cancer ...
5-HT2A, a G-protein coupled receptor, is widely expressed in the human body, including in the gastrointestinal tract, platelets and the nervous system. It mediates various functions, for e.g. learning, memory, mood regulation, platelet aggregation and va
Collagen consists of α-chains and the variability in the number of α-chains present in the molecule defines the different collagen types distributed in the human body. Despite the presence of multiple isoforms and tissue expression levels, all the different types of collagen share common structures...
In this review, the function of this minimal set of integrins during the development of these two invertebrates is compared. Despite the differences in bodyplan and developmental strategy, integrin adhesion to the extracellular matrix is required for similar processes: the formation of the link that...
(Placename) a river in E England, in Cambridgeshire, flowing through Cambridge to the River Ouse. Length: about 64 km (40 miles) CAM abbreviation for 1.(Complementary Medicine) complementary and alternative medicine 2.(Computer Science) computer-aided manufacture ...
Caaveiro2, Satoru Nagatoishi2, Takamitsu Miyafusa3, Tadashi Matsuura4,Yukio Sudou4 & Kouhei Tsumoto1,2,5 Human P-cadherin is a cell adhesion protein of the family of classical cadherins, the overexpression of which is correlated with poor prognosis in various types of cancer....
