  • E-cadherin mechanotransduction beyond cell-cell junctions 
    Muhamed, Ismaeel (2015-12-03)
    Cadherins and integrin receptors form crucial extracellular adhesive connections with, respectively, adjacent cells and the extracellular matrix, and transduce mechanical signals across cell membranes. The role of adhesive ...

  • Mechanism of E-cadherin dimerization at the plasma membrane 
    Vu, Vinh (2021-03-26)
    Cadherins are essential intercellular adhesion proteins that regulate tissue cohesion and paracellular permeability by assembling dense adhesion plaques at cell-to-cell contacts. This thesis addresses two aspects of cadherin ...

  • Regulation of cadherin adhesion at intercellular junctions 
    Shashikanth, Nitesh (2016-06-16)
    Adhesion proteins maintain cell-cell interactions, which are critical for tissue formation and the hierarchical organization of all multicellular organisms, and among them, cadherins are the major transmembrane cell-cell ...
