The morphology and adhesion of all deposits, as well as the alloy composition, were found to be strongly dependent on the deposition conditions.
Science
However, in those cases, the challenge would be developing a coating or an approach of modification that will resist adhesion of all forms of biofouling.
Science
The ITGA4/ITGA9-blocking peptide MLD inhibited adhesion of all three cell types to ADAM2 (Fig. 3).
Science
Adhesion of all three cell types to ADAM2 was inhibited by the peptide corresponding to the ECD-containing adhesion-mediating motif in the ADAM2 disintegrin domain, but not by the control peptide, ECA (Fig. 3).
Science
Over-expression of CCL20 significantly increased the adhesion of all four CCL20-expressing clones to the collagen I. Comparing to mock-transfected PC3 cells, clones 7, 8, 10 and 30 demonstrated 2.1-fold (p<0.04), 3.8-fold (p<0.01), 2.2-fold (p<0.03) and 2.8-fold (p<0.004) increases in their adhesion to collagen I, respectively (Fig. 3C).
Science
On the other hand, NAC-HCPS inhibited adhesion of all the HMVEC, 3LL and B16 cells to the Matrigel-coated plates in a concentration-dependent manner.

We have tested positive selection within the adhesion domain of all sperm-expressed members of the Mus Adam gene family and have identified an important role played by duplications and neofunctionalization.
Science
Primers were designed for the adhesion domain of all known Mus sperm Adams (1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 5, 6a, 6b, 7, 18, 24, 26a, 26b, 30 and 32) using Primer3 (http://frodo.wi.mit.edu/) and published M. m. domesticus sequence data (Additional file 1: Table S1).
Science
Although integrins are involved in adhesion of virtually all cell types, the underlying signaling and recruitment of integrins to sites of adhesion in vivo is complex and not completely understood.
Science
Children below one year admitted with severe disease, irrespective of the clinical syndrome, showed reduced levels of adhesion to all three ICAM-1 protein variants and CD36 under static and flow conditions, but numbers were too few (n = 8) to test for significance.

Expert writing Tips
Best practice
In technical writing, specify what exactly is adhering to ensure clear understanding; for example, "adhesion of all cells to the substrate".
Common error
Avoid using "adhesion of all" when a more specific term clarifies the context. For instance, use "complete adhesion" or "universal adherence" if the aim is to emphasize the extent of the adhesion rather than the specific components involved.

Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, "adhesion of all" is a noun phrase used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to indicate that every element within a defined group is adhering. While grammatically acceptable, it is not a highly frequent expression and requires careful consideration of context to ensure clarity. Ludwig AI's analysis suggests that while the phrase is valid, alternative expressions like "complete adhesion" or "universal adhesion" may sometimes offer more precise or stylistically appropriate options. When clarity and specificity are paramount, especially in scientific writing, "adhesion of all" serves a valuable function.

What does "adhesion of all" mean in a scientific context?
In science, "adhesion of all" typically refers to the process where all elements, components, or cells within a system are adhering or sticking together. For example, it might describe the "adhesion of all cells" in a culture to a substrate.
Is there a difference between "adhesion of all" and "complete adhesion"?
"Adhesion of all" specifies that every element is adhering, while "complete adhesion" emphasizes the extent to which something adheres. The former focuses on the individual components, whereas the latter focuses on the process.
When is it appropriate to use "adhesion of all" in a sentence?
Use "adhesion of all" when you want to highlight that every single component within a defined set is participating in the adhesion process. It's particularly suitable in technical or scientific writing where precision is crucial.
What are some alternatives to "adhesion of all" that I can use?
Depending on the context, alternatives include "universal adhesion", "complete adhesion", or "total adherence". The best choice depends on whether you want to emphasize every component, the extent of adhesion, or a more abstract concept of adherence.
