New insights about how G-protein coupled receptors regulate cell adhesion
The correct regulation of adhesive interactions between cells and their environment is essential for health. Researchers from the Biophysics Group of Daniel Müller provide mechanistic insights as to how extracellular signals are transmitted into the cell where they lead to the targeted intracellular regulation of its adhesive properties to the extracellular matrix. The processes are important for tissue formation and wound healing while their dysregulation may result in cancer progression.
