Cell adhesion molecules and the kidney [PDF]

open access: possiblePediatric Nephrology, 1994
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) have been implicated in various biologic processes, including morphogenesis, immune response, and thrombosis. There are four major groups: integrins, cadherins, immunoglobulin superfamily members, and selectins. Certain CAMs are differentially expressed in the developing, normal, and cancerous kidney.

Cell adhesion molecules and the glomerulopathies [PDF]

open access: possibleThe American Journal of Medicine, 1999
The kidney possesses a unique architecture that allows it to carry out its function of purifying the blood through filtration and tubular reabsorption and secretion. This structure is established and maintained through the interactions of renal cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM) consisting of the glomerular, Bowman’s capsular, tubular and other ...

Erythroid cell adhesion molecules

Transfusion Medicine Reviews, 2000
A CELL ADHESION molecule (CAM) has been defined as a cell surface receptor capable of attaching a cell either to another cell or to an extracellular matrix (ECM) substrate through interaction with its ligand. CAMs are often thought of as the glue holding cells to each other or to a matrix.

Cell Adhesion Molecules: An Overview

Cancer Investigation, 1998
Considerable basic research, mostly in the past 20 years, has elicited greatly increased knowledge concerning the structure and function of cell adhesion molecules. Scores of individual adhesion molecules have been identified and categorized as to major structural features, ligands recognized, and pattern of expression.

Cell Adhesion Molecules

2008
Cell adhesion molecules, also termed cell adhesion receptors, are one of three classes of macromolecules – along with extracellular matrix molecules and adhesion plaque proteins – that mediate cell adhesion, an activity which is critical for the commencement and maintenance of the three-dimensional structure and normal function of tissues.1,2 Cell ...

Cell adhesion molecules and sleep

Neuroscience Research, 2017
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) play essential roles in the central nervous system, where some families are involved in synaptic development and function. These synaptic adhesion molecules (SAMs) are involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity, and the formation of neuronal networks. Recent findings from studies examining the consequences of sleep

Cell adhesion molecules at the synapse

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2006
Synapses are specialized intercellular junctions whose specificity and plasticity provide the structural and functional basis for the formation and maintenance of the complex neural network in the brain. The number, location, and type of synapses formed are well controlled, since synaptic circuits are formed in a highly reproducible way.

Cell adhesion molecules in vasculitis

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1997
Activation of the vascular endothelium by several different stimuli plays a crucial role in the initiation, localization, and propagation of vascular injury. In vitro studies have demonstrated that activation of cultured vascular endothelial cells renders them hyperadhesive for leukocytes.
