Abstract:What do oxygen and its radicals have to do with cell adhesion? Several years ago, even experts in the research fields of redox biology and cell adhesion likely would have answered this question innocuously or evasively. Is there really little to talk about? Some of the former hypotheses on redox biology of cell adhesion have substantialized in the meantime. This Forum provides insights into the interplay between oxygen radical species and the cellular contacts with the extracellular matrix, including the subse… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
