Syndecans are transmembrane proteoglycans which can participate in diverse cell surface interactions, involving extracellular matrix macromolecules, growth factors, protease inhibitors, and even viral entry. Currently, all extracellular interactions are believed to be mediated by distinct structures

## Abstract The influence of signal pathways involved in the adhesion of fibroblasts from the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments to fibronectin was investigated. Specific emphasis was paid to the cyclic adenosine monophosphate and Ca^2+^/phospholipid pathways to determine the signali
## Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are potentially useful cells for musculoskeletal tissue engineering. However, controlling MSC differentiation and tissue formation in vivo remains a challenge. There is a significant need for wellβdefined and efficient protocols for directing MSC behaviors
## Abstract Adhesion of cells to a surface is a basic and important requirement in the fields of cell culture and tissue engineering. Previously, we constructed the cell adhesive, fpβ151βRGD, by fusion of the hybrid mussel adhesive protein, fpβ151, and GRGDSP peptide, one of the major cell adhesion
The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 plays a key role in nervous system development including neuronal migration, neurite growth, and axonal fasciculation. L1 is expressed on most developing axons, and homophilic binding of L1 molecules on adjacent axons is likely to play a key role in axon extensio
