Restricted expression of classic cadherins in the spinal cord of the chicken embryo
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 Classic cadherins belong to the family of cadherin genes and play important roles in neurogenesis, neuron migration and axon growth. In the present study, we compared the expression patterns of 10 classic cadherins (Cdh2, Cdh4, Cdh6, Cdh7, Cdh8, Cdh9 ...

Adhesion molecules in Wilms tumor (part I) [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2003 Adhesion molekues are glicoprotees which have extracellular, transmembranous and intracytoplasmatic part. They show their basic role is in cell interaction in the tissue on one side and between cells and matrix on the other side.

Evolutionary origin of type IV classical cadherins in arthropods
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background Classical cadherins are a metazoan-specific family of homophilic cell-cell adhesion molecules that regulate morphogenesis. Type I and type IV cadherins in this family function at adherens junctions in the major epithelial tissues of ...

Cadherin Expression and EMT: A Focus on Gliomas
Biomedicines, 2021 Cadherins are calcium-binding proteins with a pivotal role in cell adhesion and tissue homeostasis. The cadherin-dependent mechanisms of cell adhesion and migration are exploited by cancer cells, contributing to tumor invasiveness and dissemination.

Cadherins and catenins in cancer: connecting cancer pathways and tumor microenvironment
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Cadherin-catenin complexes are integral components of the adherens junctions crucial for cell-cell adhesion and tissue homeostasis. Dysregulation of these complexes is linked to cancer development via alteration of cell-autonomous oncogenic signaling ...

The role of the cell adhesion molecules (integrins / cadherins) in prostate cancer
International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2011 During prostate carcinogenesis the cellular adhesion molecules, i.e.; integrins and cadherins mediate aberrant interactions between glandular epithelial cells and the extracellular matrix. Several integrin α subunits are down-regulated, while β

Coordinated cadherin functions sculpt respiratory motor circuit connectivity
eLife, 2022 Breathing, and the motor circuits that control it, is essential for life. At the core of respiratory circuits are Dbx1-derived interneurons, which generate the rhythm and pattern of breathing, and phrenic motor neurons (MNs), which provide the final ...
