The tissue in our body can only hold together if the cells adhere not only to each other, but also to extracellular ...

During meiosis, sister chromatids produced by chromosome duplication are held together by Rec8, a meiosis-specific cohesion protein. Rec8 joins the whole length of the sister chromatids together ...

For synthetic biology companies, scaling up means reaching out—working with government bodies, identifying partners, and securing manufacturing capacity.

The role of cohesion is vital to our understanding of how sedimentary bedforms evolve. Here, the authors show that microorganisms within the sediment affect cohesion and demonstrate that ripples ...

The researchers have hypothesized that a mechanism called active cohesion prevents the tissue from tearing - while some cells are strongly contracting, others are softening. Instead of reacting to a ...

Cohesion at the cellular level: flexible yet stable Date: September 5, 2024 Source: University of Konstanz Summary: Research teams are analyzing how proteins work together to enable our cells to ...
