More than a billion years ago, amoebae split off from their sister eukaryotes, which later gave rise to animals. The talin protein (fluorescing red and white in this microscopic image) is found in ...

The cells of all animals – including humans – are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their environment. This mechanically stable adhesion enables the development ...

Engineering experts have proposed a novel technique to measure the cell traction force field and tackle the research gap. The interdisciplinary research team used single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...

Certain antibodies employ unusual tactics to keep germs from attaching to cells in our bodies. Their defensive strategies ...

Biomaterials science encompasses designing and fabricating intelligent materials for studying, directing, or mimicking biology. When it comes to successfully integrating biomaterials into biological ...

Evolutionary origin of animal cell adhesion: Talin protein plays a central role The cells of all animals – including humans – are characterised by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces ...
