Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered new mechanisms underlying cellular adhesion and repair, findings that could inform the development of new therapeutics that boost cellular repair ...

A cellular culprit -- as well as a possible treatment -- for a common, sometimes life-threatening post-surgical complication has been identified. A cellular culprit -- as well as a possible treatment ...

Surgical adhesions—common, sometimes life-threatening complications that arise after open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery—can be prevented in mice and pigs by a gel impregnated with a molecule that ...

Scarring is expected after most operations, but surgical adhesions present a unique challenge for patients and surgeons. These internal bands of scar tissue can bind organs to each other or to the ...

Adhesion molecules are pivotal mediators of cell–cell and cell–matrix interactions that underpin immune surveillance, vascular integrity and tissue homoeostasis. In the cardiovascular system, members ...

Statin use is associated with a lower risk for postoperative adhesion-related complications (ARCs) after intra-abdominal surgery, a new observational study suggests. Investigators retrospectively ...

— Enrollment Complete in Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial of RP-L201 for the Treatment of LAD-I — “Receiving RMAT designation and completing Phase 1/2 patient enrollment are important steps in advancing our ...

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 tenaciously to the surfaces of targeted human cells.

Endometriosis adhesions are thick bands of scar tissue that can bind organs together. Share on Pinterest Jovo Jovanovic/Stocksy Adhesions form when tissue in the pelvic region sustains an injury. They ...
