MicroRNAs Associated with IgLON Cell Adhesion Molecule Expression [PDF]
The IgLON family of cell adhesion molecules consists of five members (LSAMP, OPCML, neurotrimin, NEGR1, and IgLON5) discovered as supporters of neuronal development, axon growth and guidance, and synapse formation and maintenance.

Hyaluronate can function as a cell adhesion molecule and CD44 participates in hyaluronate recognition [PDF]
A cell adhesion model was previously used to select a series of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which were subsequently found to recognize CD44/Pgp-1. Interest in these reagents increased with the finding that they totally inhibited production of lymphoid ...

A Review of Single-Cell Adhesion Force Kinetics and Applications
Cells exert, sense, and respond to the different physical forces through diverse mechanisms and translating them into biochemical signals. The adhesion of cells is crucial in various developmental functions, such as to maintain tissue morphogenesis and ...

Expression and function of epithelial cell adhesion molecule EpCAM: where are we after 40 years?
EpCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule) was discovered four decades ago as a tumor antigen on colorectal carcinomas. Owing to its frequent and high expression on carcinomas and their metastases, EpCAM serves as a prognostic marker, a therapeutic target,

Adhesion molecules: a way to understand lupus
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a connective disease in which all vitally important organs may be affected. The etiology of the disease is largely unknown and almost all immunological mechanisms have been proposed as the pathophysiological background of ...

On the adhesion of vesicles by cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
This paper gives a detailed analysis of experiments on the kinetics of aggregation of lipid vesicles containing neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAM). An explanation for the dependence of the "initial aggregation rate," kagg, on the square of the vesicle concentration is given, accounting both for Brownian motion of the vesicles and shear effects.

CD146, from a melanoma cell adhesion molecule to a signaling receptor
CD146 was originally identified as a melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM) and highly expressed in many tumors and endothelial cells. However, the evidence that CD146 acts as an adhesion molecule to mediate a homophilic adhesion through the direct ...

Correlating single-molecule rupture mechanics with cell population adhesion by yeast display
Here, we present a method based on yeast surface display that allows for direct comparison between population-level cell adhesion strength and single-molecule receptor-ligand rupture mechanics. We developed a high-throughput yeast adhesion assay in which
