Junctional adhesion molecule-C: A multifunctional mediator of cell adhesion [PDF]

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences
Junctional Adhesion Molecule-C (JAM-C) is a member of the JAM family of cell adhesion molecules. JAM-C is expressed by a large variety of tissues including epithelial and endothelial tissues, neuronal tissues, glial cells, cells of the reproductive ...

Irisin supports integrin-mediated cell adhesion of lymphocytes

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Irisin, a myokine released from skeletal muscle, has recently been found to act as a ligand for the integrins αVβ5, αVβ1, and α5β1 expressed on mesenchymal cells, thereby playing an important role in the metabolic remodeling of the bone, skeletal muscle ...

EpCAM promotes endosomal modulation of the cortical RhoA zone for epithelial organization

Nature Communications, 2021
The organization and force-generating property of actomyosin dictate the plasticity and behaviour of cells but the spatio-temporal regulation of this network is unclear.

Potential Roles of Muscle-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Remodeling Cellular Microenvironment: Proposed Implications of the Exercise-Induced Myokine, Irisin

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key players of intercellular communication and mediate crosstalk between tissues. Metastatic tumors release tumorigenic EVs, capable of pre-conditioning distal sites for organotropic metastasis.

The mitochondrial outer membrane protein SYNJ2BP interacts with the cell adhesion molecule TMIGD1 and can recruit it to mitochondria

BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2020
Background Transmembrane and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 1 (TMIGD1) is a recently identified cell adhesion molecule which is predominantly expressed by epithelial cells of the intestine and the kidney. Its expression is downregulated in both

Cell adhesion in cancer: Beyond the migration of single cells

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020
Homeostasis in healthy tissues strongly relies on cell-to-cell adhesion and cell-to-extracellular matrix interactions. For instance, normal epithelial cells maintain tissue structure by adhering to each other and to the extracellular matrix. The proteins
