(2012-07-16)Extracellular microenvironment, including its components and biophysical parameters such as matrix structure and stiffness, is a crucial determinant of cellular function. There exists interdependency between cellular ...
-
(2012-10-19)Hydration is known to be crucial in biomolecular interactions including ligand binding and self-assembly. In our earlier studies we have shown the key role of water in stabilizing the specific parts of the collagen triple ...

Collagen plays several key roles in cell binding, tissue growth, and structural strengthening of the body. We chose to study three proteins: OSCAR, DDR2, and α-1 integrin. These protein and protein domain models were built ...
-
(2011-08-08)Sprouting angiogenesis is a multi-step process consisting of basement membrane degradation, endothelial cell (EC) activation, proliferation, invasion, lumen formation, and stabilization. Such complexity reveals that the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Clinical thermal therapies are widespread and gaining in appeal due to improved technology of heating devices and promising results. Outcomes of thermal treatment are often unpredictable and suboptimal, however, due in ...
