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…

Fibronectin Unfolding Revisited: Modeling Cell Traction- Mediated Unfolding of the Tenth Type-III Repeat
Elaine P S Gee, Donald E Ingber, Collin M StultzCells build the extracellular matrix by pulling on the protein fibronectin, causing it to assemble into fibrils. This study used computer simulations to investigate how this process works at a molecular level. Researche…

Collagen fibrillogenesis: fibronectin, integrins, and minor collagens as organizers and nucleators
Karl E Kadler, Adele Hill, Elizabeth G Canty-LairdThis 2008 review article explores how collagen fibrils, the main structural components of connective tissue, are formed. While collagen can self-assemble in a test tube, the process in living tissues is carefully manage…
