There is abundant evidence that adhesion assembly and disassembly is closely coupled with two fundamental cellular processes: actin polymerization and myosin II-generated tension. Although tension ...

Cell adhesion is the process by which cells form contacts with each other or with their substratum through specialized protein complexes. Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens ...

Such adhesions not only play a role in cells within a tissue, but also in processes in which cells have to move, for example ...

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. This work enables us to apply our findings to understand disease processes and ...

This tissue remodeling relies on the integration of multiple cellular processes, including cell polarity, motility, and adhesion. Moreover, these processes are directly modulated by communication ...

Scientists have uncovered a key mechanism in jellyfish embryos that provides new insights into how the body plan of these ...

the Role of Signalling to the Cytoskeleton by the Extracellular Matrix in Cell Motility Processes. The central interest of the laboratory is in cell-matrix adhesion processes and their roles in ...
