Cells are mechanically coupled to their extracellular environments, which play critical roles
in both communicating the state of the mechanical environment to the cell as well as in …

An overwhelming amount of data has imphcated the cell surface as the primary s~ te for
control of cell growth, dwlslon, development, commumcatlon, differentiation and death. Cells …

Many of the altered properties of malignant cells are thought to involve alterations in cell
surface functions. In order to understand these alterations it is necessary to know more …

Double label immunofluorescence was used to study the distribution of fibronectin (LETS
protein), actin and intermediate filaments in cultured cells. No relationship was observed …

Actin was first identified in non-muscle cells only about three decades ago, and at about the
same time, it was found that actin filaments were disrupted in the malignant transformed …

The patterns of distribution of intracellular actin and myosin were examined by specific
immunofluorescence in a series of normal, simian-virus-40-transformed, and revertant cell …

Transfection of chicken vinculin cDNA into two tumor cell lines expressing diminished levels
of the endogenous protein, brought about a drastic suppression of their tumorigenic ability …

The cell surface or periphery (plasma membrane and attached intra-[1] and extracellular [2]
membrane-associated components) remains one of the most potentially useful avenues for …

Cell Hybrids summarizes the methodology of cell fusion-the fusion of human, animal, and
plant cells of different origins to produce cell hybrids-and surveys the main applications and …

Fibroblasts migrating from heart explants of chick embryos at first have a high rate of
locomotion but lack focal contacts or adhesions and also lack substantial actin-containing …
