Cell adhesion molecules are ubiquitous, specifying precise cell–cell interactions in many, diverse, cellular processes. Now, researchers have engineered molecules that act like “cellular glue ...

Cell adhesion molecules are present at synaptic sites throughout the lifetime of a synapse and are involved in the formation, function and plasticity of synaptic connections. Synaptically ...

This produces significant regression in the tumor and Treg frequency [1]. Cell adhesion molecules significantly contribute to the immune response and anti-immunity. These molecules additionally ...

Cell, tissue, and organ structure is maintained by cell-cell adhesion molecules that connect opposing cells. Cadherins are a class of essential cell-cell adhesion molecules for tissue formation ...

In a new study, published in the Dec. 12, 2022, issue of Nature, researchers engineered cells containing customized adhesion molecules that bound with specific partner cells in predictable ways to ...

As the neutrophil becomes activated, it replaces L-selectin with other cell-surface adhesion molecules, such as integrins. These molecules bind E-selectin, which is present on the blood-vessel ...

Cells stick together thanks to proteins called “adhesion molecules,” which stud the cell’s surface and help them link up like lego pieces. Different adhesion molecules allow different types ...

they all contain tiny structures called cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). These are proteins that sit on the surface and bind to adjacent cells with varying strength, holding organs together.

Cell adhesion molecules are the glue that binds cells together in the body. Deficits in adhesion molecules would be expected to compromise processes at the interfaces between cells, influencing ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered new mechanisms underlying cellular adhesion and repair, findings that ...

11,12 Not only are adhesion receptors mechanical anchors, but also many function as tissue-specific recognition molecules. For example, the specialized endothelial cells that line the high ...

1 Cell adhesion molecules act in the form of receptor-ligand binding. They are the foundation of critical pathological and physiological processes such as inflammation, immune response ...
