Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
Cells Tissues Organs, 1998 Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

Adhesion molecules: a way to understand lupus
Rheumatology, 2022 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]
Biophysical Journal, 1985 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.

Regulation of CD4(+) T cells by pleural mesothelial cells via adhesion molecule-dependent mechanisms in tuberculous pleurisy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) have been demonstrated to be expressed on pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs), and to mediate leukocyte adhesion and migration; however, little is known ...

Inhibition of tumor necrosis factor α–stimulated monocyte adhesion to human aortic endothelial cells by AMP-activated protein kinase [PDF]
, 2008 <b>Objective</b>— Proatherosclerotic adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium is attenuated by NO. As AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates endothelial NO synthesis, we investigated the modulation of adhesion to cultured human aortic
