 Cell adhesion plays a key role in regulating processes such as cell growth, differentiation and migration. Proteins responsible for the adhesion of so-called CAMs (cellular adhesion molecules) mediate interactions between cells and between cells and the intercellular matrix. To date, more than 50 proteins involved in adhesion have been identified, including: integrins, selectins, cadherins and … Read more
