Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines of attack is to cling ...

Scientists have found that antibodies stop UTI-causing E. coli by jamming or mimicking cell receptors, preventing bacterial ...

Certain antibodies employ unusual tactics to keep germs from attaching to cells in our bodies. Their defensive strategies ...

In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a team of researchers has developed an artificial adhesion system that closely mimics natural biological interactions. Their research focuses on understanding how ...

In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers has developed an artificial adhesion system that closely mimics natural biological interactions. Dr. Isaac Li and his team in ...

The cells of all animals—including humans—are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their environment. This mechanically stable adhesion enables the development of ...
