Modelling Cell Origami via a Tensegrity Model of the Cytoskeleton in Adherent Cells
Lili Wang, Weiyi ChenResearchers created a computer model to better understand "cell origami," a technique where the natural pulling forces of cells are used to fold tiny structures. This model represents the cell's internal framework, or c…

Fibronectin in cell adhesion and migration via N-glycosylation
Cheng-Te Hsiao, Hung-Wei Cheng, Chi-Ming Huang, Hao-Ru Li, Meng-Hsin Ou, Jie-Rong Huang, Kay-Hooi Khoo, Helen Wenshin Y…Fibronectin is a protein in blood plasma that helps cells stick together and move, a process essential for wound healing. This study investigated how a specific chemical modification, called N-glycosylation, affects fib…

Mechanotransduction – a field pulling together?
Christopher S ChenIn this 2008 review article, the author discusses mechanotransduction, the process by which cells convert mechanical forces into biochemical signals. Cells are constantly subjected to forces, both from external pressure…

Cell–Matrix Adhesion
Allison L Berrier, Kenneth M YamadaThe connection between cells and their surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) is fundamental to how tissues are built and function. This matrix, composed of collagen and other proteins, not only provides structural supp…
