The tissue in our body can only hold together if the cells adhere not only to each other, but also to extracellular structures, such as collagen fibres of the connective tissue and the skin. How ...

The ability of cells to perceive the mechanical identity of extracellular matrix, generally known as mechanosensing, is generally depicted as a consequence of an intricate balance between pulling ...

Research teams are analyzing how proteins work together to enable our cells to both stick and move. The marker protein paxillin is at the center of their interest. The tissue in our body can only hold ...
