The loss of E‐cadherin expression or function in epithelial carcinomas has long been
thought as a primary reason for disruption of tight epithelial cell‐cell contacts and release of …

E-and N-cadherin are calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules that mediate cell–cell
adhesion and also modulate cell migration and tumor invasiveness. The loss of E-cadherin …

E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates calcium-dependent, homotypic
cell–cell adhesion and plays a role in maintaining the normal phenotype of epithelial cells …

Progression to tumour malignancy involves changes in a tumour cell's capabilities to adhere
and communicate with neighboring cells and with its extracellular environment. Correlation …

E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates calcium-dependent, homotypic
cell-cell adhesion and plays an important role in maintaining the normal phenotype of …

Cell adhesion in tumors............................................. 1.1. Invasive carcinoma cells exhibit
reduced intercellular adhesion.................... 1.2. The role of the cell adhesion molecule E …

E-cadherin-mediated cell–cell adhesion is lost during the development of most epithelial
cancers. Recent evidence indicates that the loss of E-cadherin function, besides causing …

We review evidence concerning the basis for tissue segregation during embryonic
development. This compartmentalization is shown to be an immiscibility phenomenon …

BACKGROUND Cadherins are the family of functionally related transmembrane
glycoproteins responsible for the Ca2+‐dependent cell–cell adhesion mechanism that is …

E-cadherin is a tumor suppressor protein, and the loss of its expression in association with
the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) occurs frequently during tumor metastasis …
