Adhesion-induced receptor segregation and adhesion plaque formation: A model membrane study
TLDR
A model system to study the control of cell adhesion by receptor-mediated specific forces, universal interactions, and membrane elasticity is established by reconstitution of homophilic receptor proteins into solid supported membranes and into giant vesicles with the polymers forming an artificial glycocalix.About:

Polymer-supported membranes as models of the cell surface
TL;DR: This work focuses on lipid-bilayer membranes supported on solid substrates, which are widely used as cell-surface models that connect biological and artificial materials and when these systems are coupled with advanced semiconductor technology.

Discrete interactions in cell adhesion measured by single-molecule force spectroscopy.
TL;DR: Measurements are focused on a glycoprotein, contact site A, as a prototype of cell-adhesion proteins, expressed in aggregating cells of Dictyostelium discoideum, which are engaged in development of a multicellular organism.

Supported membranes on soft polymer cushions: fabrication, characterization and applications
Erich Sackmann,Motomu Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied powerful surface-sensitive techniques to study protein-protein recognition processes at membranes and the control of cell adhesion by the interplay of specific 'lock-and-key' forces and universal interfacial forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation-independent platelet adhesion and aggregation under elevated shear stress
TL;DR: It is found that platelet and VWF modulation by hydrodynamic force is a mechanism for activation-independent aggregation that may support thrombotic arterial occlusion in patients with stenotic coronary arteries.
