Cell adhesion is essential in cell communication and regulation, and is of fundamental
importance in the development and maintenance of tissues. The mechanical interactions …

Recent years have witnessed an explosion of extensive geolocated datasets related to
human movement, enabling scientists to quantitatively study individual and collective …

The mesenchymal-amoeboid transition (MAT) was proposed as a mechanism for cancer
cells to adapt their migration mode to their environment. While the molecular pathways …

The effectiveness of stem cell therapies has been hampered by cell death and limited
control over fate. These problems can be partially circumvented by using macroporous …

Integrin-based adhesion has served as a model for studying the central role of adhesion in
migration. In this article, we outline modes of migration, both integrin-dependent and …

Cell migration plays a central role in a wide variety of biological phenomena. In
embryogenesis, cellular migrations are a recurring theme in important morphogenic …

Alginate hydrogels are used extensively in cell encapsulation, cell transplantation, and
tissue engineering applications. Alginates possess many favorable properties required in …

Since RGD peptides (R: arginine; G: glycine; D: aspartic acid) have been found to promote
cell adhesion in 1984 (Cell attachment activity of fibronectin can be duplicated by small …

The stiffness and nanotopographical characteristics of the extracellular matrix (ECM)
influence numerous developmental, physiological, and pathological processes in vivo …

An appropriate cellular response to implanted surfaces is essential for tissue regeneration
and integration. It is well described that implanted materials are immediately coated with …
