Open AccessGalectin-1 Restricts Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Motility Via Modulating Adhesion Force and Focal Adhesion Dynamics
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration play a key role in the development of intimal hyperplasia and atherosclerosis. Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is a redox-sensitive β-galactoside-binding lectin expressed in VSM...

Open AccessLateral Force Microscopy of Interfacial Nanobubbles: Friction Reduction and Novel Frictional Behavior
Atomic force microscopy is used to conduct single-asperity friction measurements at a water-graphite interface. Local map** of the frictional force, which is based on the degree of the cantilever twisting, s...
