Micro- and nano-scaled fibrillar adhesive pads based on the contact splitting principle may show adhesive strengths matching or even surpass those of natural systems 1,2. The contact splitting ...
The aim of this paper is to review the current understanding of the adhesion when at least one of the two materials adhering is a polymer. The second material may also be polymeric, but also it may be ...
A spider is seen in web, cast with early morning dew drops, on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, India, Saturday, Jan. 2, 2016. Their research began as a study on how animals interact with surfaces in ...
Scientists overturned long-held assumptions in that finds water can be a help for adhesion. The implications of this research are particularly in biomedical applications such as bandages, health ...
Tissue structures are determined by both cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion, with the latter describing interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is the ...
The immune system plays a dual role in inflammation and cancer development. Immune system effector cells quickly identify and destroy malignant cells, but immune system-mediated inflammation regulates ...
