Abstract:

Epithelial cell-cell adhesion is mediated by tight junctions, adherens junctions and desmosomes. Epithelial cell-matrix adhesion is mediated by hemidesmosomes and focal contacts. These complexes exhibit great plasticity, and each contains molecular components which are able to participate in one or more of the other adhesive complexes. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK/pl25FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase which transduces signals from integrins at sites of focal contact to promote adhesion, spreading and migration. FAK possesses a central kinase domain which is flanked by large, non-catalytic,

Abstract:

Cells adhere to each other through the binding of cell adhesion molecules at the cell surface. This process, known as cell-cell adhesion, is fundamental in many areas of biology, including early embryo development, tissue homeostasis and tumour growth. Here \~e present a new continuum mathematical model of this phenomenon by considering Ã‚Â· the movement of cells in response to the adhesive forces generated through binding. We demonstrate that the model predicts aggregative behaviour, characteristic of an adhesive cell population. Further, when extended to two cell populations, the model predi

The overall thrust of this dissertation is to gain a fundamental understanding of the synergistic effects between surface topography and chemical functionality of poorly adhesive materials on enhancing the adhesion of mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

However, there is a lack of understanding of the synergistic effect of microscale and nanoscale topography with chemi

Abstract:

Tissue cohesion is achieved in part by a large family of plasma membrane-bound cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). During morphogenesis, CAM-mediated interactions provide adhesive forces required for cells to aggregate and form tissues. CAM-mediated adhesions in developing cells are highly dynamic, which provides the fluidity required for cellular movements that drive morphogenesis. Xenopus laevis gastrulation is an established model to study morphogenetic movements. During this phase of development, the mesoderm moves inside the embryo through involution, and migrates along the inner surface of t

Abstract:

Animal cells undergo a dramatic series of cell shape changes as they pass through mitosis and divide which depend both on remodelling of the contrac- tile actomyosin cortex and on the release of cell-substrate adhesions. Here, I use the adherent, non-transformed, human RPE1 cell line as a model system in which to explore the dynamics of these shape changes, and the function of mitotic adhesion remodelling. Although these cells are highly motile, and therefore polarised in interphase, many pause migration and elongate to be- come bipolar prior to mitosis. Interestingly, and in contrast to most

Abstract:

Cell adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical to various cellular processes like cell spreading, migration, growth and apoptosis. At the tissue level, cell adhesion is important in the pathological and physiological processes that regulate the tissue morphogenesis. Cell adhesion to the ECM is primarily mediated by the integrin family of receptors. The receptors that are recruited to the surface are reinforced by structural and signaling proteins at the adhesive sites forming focal adhesions that connect the cytoskeleton to further stabilize the adhesions.

Cell adhesion molecules are thought to have an important role in neoplastic progression as they are likely to be involved in the multiple steps of the metastatic cascade.

The intercellular adhesion mediated by E-cadherin has been shown to be altered in cancer. We have investigated the expression of E-cadherin in normal and tumorigenic colorectal mucosa by immunohistochemistry. Tumor samples showed a down-regulation of expression correlating with the degree of tumor ded

Dystroglycan is a heterodimeric transmembrane glycoprotein protein of α and β subunits that links the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton.

To study the relationship between dystroglycan signalling and ERK signalling in focal adhesions, an YFP-ERK construct was expressed in REF52 cells. YFP-ERK was expressed with ERK activity and formed adhesion-like structures in the REF52 cells, however, no ERK activity was detected in the adhesion-like structure
