New study reveals how collagen receptors beta1 integrin and DDR2 cooperate to control skeletal progenitor cells for enhanced bone regeneration and healing.

Bone repair depends on skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs) moving to injured areas and developing into bone-forming cells, but ...

Researchers at Tampere University, Finland, have published new results in collaboration with an international research network that help to understand the biological phenomena mediated by cell ...

WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Morphic Therapeutic (Nasdaq: MORF), a biopharmaceutical company developing a new generation of oral integrin therapies for the treatment of serious ...

Protein evolution occurs slowly via small incremental mutations—usually. However, dramatic changes can happen: for instance, a fragment of one protein getting copied into the middle of another. While ...

At last, the researchers have defined the molecular basis of the cell membrane in integrin activation. Scripps Research scientists have uncovered the workings of a critical process in cell survival.

In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Journal, researchers examined the therapeutic effects of targeting integrins for treating Amyotrophic lateral ...

Johns Hopkins University biologists have found that a protein that plays a key role in the lives of stem cells can bolster the growth of damaged muscle tissue, a step that could potentially contribute ...

Talin is a protein that plays an important role in the immune system by activating integrins, receptors that help cells attach to one another. Now a new study by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers ...
