A research team discovers universal mechanism that leads to adhesion hysteresis in soft materials. Through a combination of experimental observations and simulations, the team demonstrated that ...

A new way to measure male fertility has been discovered by researchers at the University of Waterloo, opening the door to the development of simple, inexpensive tests for clinical and at-home use. The ...

Immunofluorescence image showing S100A11 (green) localization to focal adhesions and actin stress fibers in a HeLa cell. Microtubules are labeled in red. Researchers at Kanazawa University report in ...

A research team at Leipzig University has identified a mechanism in adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (adhesion GPCRs), a ...

Up to 90% of abdominal surgeries result in adhesions -- abnormal scarring that ties together organs and tissues. A gel has now been shown to prevented adhesions in mice and pigs. Surgical adhesions -- ...

Researchers have developed a surface processing technology which can substantially suppress the adhesion of a variety of viscous liquids and ice. At present, most liquid (water and oil) repellent ...

The immune system plays a dual role in inflammation and cancer development. Immune system effector cells rapidly recognize and kill malignant cells; meanwhile, immune system-mediated inflammation ...

Light-induced accumulation of p-coumaric acid enhances adhesion between the outer and inner tissues, which contributes to ...

Photosensitive polymer films are commonly utilized as a dielectric layer in microelectronics packaging. The performance of the organic film is determined by the adhesion quality between the polymer ...
