The cells of all animals—including humans—are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their ...

Investigating adhesion in polymer films, this article highlights the advantages of in-situ testing over traditional ex-situ ...

Cell-adhesion molecules of the cadherin and immunoglobulin-like cell-adhesion molecule (Ig-CAM) superfamilies not only exert their functions by mediating cell–cell and cell–matrix adhesion, but also ...

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the cadherin and immunoglobulin superfamilies mediate cell–cell adhesion by engaging in homophilic and heterophilic interactions and, therefore, promote the formation ...

The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...

Conventional petroleum-based adhesives rely heavily on the petrochemical industry and pose environmental risks due to harmful ...

Adhesives are essential in various industries and have widespread use. However, conventional petroleum-based adhesives rely heavily on the petrochemical industry and pose environmental risks due to ...

Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) can be serious, but it’s treatable. It involves two parts of your eye. One is the vitreous, or the “jelly” part that fills the eyeball. The other is the macula, a small ...

Although you may have yet to hear of an adhesion contract, you have likely participated in one or more in the past. Adhesion contracts are written agreements between two parties where one has ...
