Kinetics of cell attachment and spreading on hard and soft substrates
… for the functioning of an organism is that cells adapt their behaviour to external stimuli. They continuously interact with their environment, and biochemical and physical cues can activate cellular signalling, which leads to changes in cell behaviour such as proliferation and shape. …

Development of a Novel Single-Cell Attachment and Spreading Platform Utilizing Fused-Fiber Nanonets
Initial attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and consequent spreading is a necessary process in the cell cycle of which little is known. Cell spreading has been well-recognized in 2D systems, however, the native fibrous ECM presents cells with 3D biophysical cues. Thus, using suspended …

Biomimetic Surface Coatings from Modular Amphiphilic Proteins
… of biofunctional scaffolds to precisely regulate cell behavior and tissue growth is of significance in regenerative medicine. Protein-based biomaterials are attractive candidates for functionalization of scaffold surfaces since the ability to precisely control protein sequence and structure allows …

Modulation of cell morphology and function using synthetic biodegradable polymers
… into thin films for use as scaffolds for cell transplantation and guided tissue regeneration. We evaluated the ability of PLGA films to provide a suitable template for directing specific cell growth and tissue formation using cells derived from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as an in …

Cells and force transduction
… at classical cadherin complexes is not only ligand-dependent but also dependent on the respective receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) binding partner of cadherin. This involvement of RTKs at cadherin complexes is important in propagating force transduction globally, implying that force transduction …

Regulation of Net1A Subcellular Localization By The Small Gtpase Rac1
… be a critical event in breast cancer development and metastatic progression. Rho protein activation is stimulated by a family of enzymes known as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (Rho GEFs). The neuroepithelioma transforming gene 1 (Net1) is a Rho GEF specific for the RhoA subfamily that is …
