Constrained by cadherins [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells get turned off by cadherins, according to a study on page 289. Ito and colleagues identify E-cadherin as a binding partner for the once-orphan inhibitory NK cell receptor KLRG1. Figure 1 NK cell inhibitory receptor KLRG1 (blue) binds to cadherins (purple) on target cells.

Cry3Bb toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis is an important insecticidal protein due to its potency against coleopteran pests, especially rootworms. Cadherin, a protein in the insect midgut epithelium, is a receptor of Cry toxins; in some insect species ...

Cell adhesion and cortex contractility determine cell patterning in the Drosophila retina
Hayashi and Carthew (Nature 431 [2004], 647) have shown that the packing of cone cells in the Drosophila retina resembles soap bubble packing, and that changing E- and N-cadherin expression can change this packing, as well as cell shape.

Tumor stiffness extends its grip on the metastatic microenvironment [PDF]
The increased stiffness of a tumor triggers a multitude of responses that aid cancer cell dissemination. Stiffness-induced expression of CCN1 mediates autocrine signaling in the endothelium to upregulate N-Cadherin levels.

Identification of the niche and phenotype of the first human hematopoietic stem cells [PDF]
SummaryIn various vertebrate species, the dorsal aorta (Ao) is the site of specification of adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). It has been observed that the upregulation of essential hematopoietic transcription factors and the formation of specific ...

Cadherins and synaptic plasticity
Given their trans-synaptic localization, their persistent expression at mature synapses and their distinct biochemical and adhesive properties, cadherins are uniquely poised at the synapse to mediate synaptic plasticity, the ability to change synaptic function thought to underlie learning and memory.

Spatial distribution of cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesions regulates force balance while main-taining E-cadherin molecular tension in cell pairs. [PDF]
Mechanical linkage between cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesions regulates cell shape changes during embryonic development and tissue homoeostasis.
