2 unusual facts about Adhesion


Adherence

Adhesion, the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another

The Wurn Technique

The Wurn Technique is a physical therapy technique used as a form of alternative medicine that promoters assert can be used to treat pain, infertility, sexual dysfunction and adhesion-related conditions.


Aorta-gonad-mesonephros

NO signalling has also been shown to control the motility of endothelial cells by regulating the expression of cell adhesion molecules ICAM-1.

Auditory system

Recently it has been shown that Cadherin-23 CDH23 and Protocadherin-15 PCDH15 are the adhesion molecules associated with these tip links.

E-selectin

In particular, increased hepatic local metastasis of B16F1 melanoma cells is observed following exogenous IL-1a administration, which results from an increased vascular adhesion receptor expression, including E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1, and tumor cell arrest in terminal portal venules.

Endocannabinoid system

Results from rat hippocampal gene chip data after acute administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) showed an increase in the expression of transcripts encoding myelin basic protein, endoplasmic proteins, cytochrome oxidase, and two cell adhesion molecules: NCAM, and SC1; decreases in expression were seen in both calmodulin and ribosomal RNAs (Kittler et al., 2000).

FN

Fibronectin, a glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion and growth

GAIN domain

The GAIN domain is a protein domain found in a number of cell surface receptors, including adhesion-GPCRs and polycystic kidney disease proteins PKD1 and PKD2.

High endothelial venules

HEV cuboidal endothelial cells express the adhesion molecules GlyCAM-1 (in mucosal HEV this is MAdCAM-1), ICAM-1 and CD34.

HPAO

AOC3, Amine oxidase, copper containing 3 (vascular adhesion protein 1)

JAML

JAML or Junctional Adhesion Molecule-Like, or AMICA1 is a JAM transmembrane protein family member.

L1 family

The members of the L1-family in humans are called L1 or L1cam, CHL1 (close homologue of L1), Neurofascin and NrCAM (NgCAM related cell adhesion molecule).

Measles virus

Three receptors for the H protein have been identified to date: complement regulatory molecule CD46, the signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) and the cell adhesion molecule Nectin-4.

Nectin

necl-1 : CADM3 (Cell adhesion molecule 3), TSLL1 (TSLC1-like 1), SynCAM3 (Synaptic cell adhesion molecule 3), IGSF4B (Immunoglobulin super family member 4B)

PIP5K1C

A similar protein in mice is found in synapses and focal adhesion plaques, and binds the FERM domain of talin through its C-terminus.

Pulvilli

The pulvilli functions as an adhesive system, with their adhesion coming from two physical components: partly the adhesion caused by Van der Waals force, and partly due to an adhesive fluid secreted from the extremities onto numerous surfaces.

Rhinovirus

Afterward, the virus binds to ICAM-1 (Inter-Cellular Adhesion Molecule 1) also known as CD54 (Cluster of Differentiation 54) receptors on respiratory epithelial cells.

Roasted barley tea

Roasted barley tea was found to inhibit bacterial colonization and adhesion, specifically to the major cause of tooth decay and implicated in cardiovascular diseases, Streptococcus mutans biofilms.

Robijn Bruinsma

His research specialties include the numerical Simulation of active proteins and of Gene transcription, the self-assembly of viruses, DNA, and chromatin, the electrostatics of DNA and electrical transport along DNA, and adhesion of vesicles and cells.

RSU1

RSU-1 has also been seen to act as a structural protein in integrin-mediated focal-adhesion complexes.

São Paulo Railway

An electrified Rack-and-adhesion railway built on the right of way of the abandoned Serra Velha opened in 1974, called Systema Cremalheira-Aderência, transl.: System Rack-and-adhesion

Soluble cell adhesion molecules

They include soluble forms of the cell adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin and P-selectin (distinguished as sICAM-1, sVCAM-1, sE-selectin and sP-selectin).

SRBC

CD2, a cell adhesion molecule found on the surface of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells

Treaty of La Pointe

The Isle Royale Agreement is an adhesion to the 1842 Treaty of La Pointe, conducted at La Pointe, Wisconsin Territory on August 20, 1844, with Commissioner Robert Stuart representing the United States.
