Adhesion molecules in cell interactions

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1993
During a successful immune response, several families of adhesion molecules participate in a cascade of binding events that lead to the binding of leukocytes, both to each other and to cell types such as the endothelium and epithelium. A central theme emerging from recent studies is that the function of an adhesion receptor cannot be inferred from its ...

Epithelial cell adhesion molecules

Experimental Cell Research, 1986
Recognition and binding between cells are of fundamental importance for a proper function of multicellular organisms, both during embryonic development and in the adult stage. Recently several cell surface proteins that are involved in these phenomena have been discovered.

Cell Adhesion Molecules and Endometriosis

Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2003
The pathogenesis of endometriosis remains poorly defined. The interaction of endometrium with peritoneum is an important aspect of the disease process. Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are transmembrane receptors that facilitate intercellular binding and cellular interaction with the extracellular matrix (ECM).

The structure of cell-adhesion molecules.

Trends in cell biology, 1998
In recent years, following the identification and molecular cloning of many key adhesion molecules, the three-dimensional structures of some of the domains that mediate adhesive interactions have been determined. This review discusses how these studies have helped explain the unique functional roles of the different families of adhesion molecules.

Cell adhesion molecules as morphoregulators

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995
Many significant advances have been made recently in our understanding of the structure and function of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). The most provocative, however, are those that indicate that CAM-mediated adhesion may lead to changes in gene expression and those that suggest that the expression of CAM genes may be regulated by the products of Hox ...

Inhibition of cell adhesion by anti-adhesive molecules

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995
The importance of inhibitory (as well as stimulatory) signals for cell adhesion and/or migration is most readily recognizable during development of the nervous system, where pathfinding and the avoidance of inappropriate tracks by axons in the periphery, and the development of organized layers and establishment of boundaries in the central nervous ...

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

2019
To orchestrate development and maintain tissue homeostasis, multicellular organisms have evolved a large number of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). There are four major classes of CAMs: the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF), the cadherins, the integrins and the selectins.
