Almost 35% of drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration work by targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), proteins embedded in cell membranes that allow cells to communicate with each ...

Over the past twenty years, intensive research has enabled us to identify components of specific signalling pathways downstream of an array of adhesion and growth-factor receptors. The first ...

How do cells forming organs or repairing tissues know when to stop growing? Adhesion receptors act as molecular fingertips that sense the environment and then coordinate behaviors.

In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a team of researchers has developed an artificial adhesion system that closely mimics natural biological interactions. Their research focuses on understanding how ...

In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers has developed an artificial adhesion system that closely mimics natural biological interactions.

anti-β7 and anti-integrin receptor agents are not all effective in IBD. Such results open new perspectives on clinical management of IBD, and new directions in understanding the role of adhesion ...
