Cell spacing is also critical to tissue function, so this geometry is precisely regulated. To preserve proper tissue architecture, adhesive molecules help maintain contact between nearby cells and ...

Ladoux´s team is investigating the relationships between adhesion and mechanical and biochemical signaling for the adaptation ...

Selectins are a family of cell adhesion molecules that participate in the early phases of leukocyte–endothelium interactions. They are required for the trafficking of innate immune system cells, T ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Cells that form the surface of organs stick together tightly. To do so, they connect with their neighbors on all sides through a range of different but precisely arranged adhesion molecules.
