This review is dedicated to E-cadherin, a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecule
with pivotal roles in epithelial cell behavior, tissue formation, and suppression of cancer. As …

The interaction between Candida albicans and its host cells is characterized by a complex
interplay between the expression of fungal virulence factors, which results in adherence …

Tissue morphogenesis during development is dependent on activities of the cadherin family
of cell–cell adhesion proteins that includes classical cadherins, protocadherins, and atypical …

Desmosomes are intercellular junctions of epithelia and cardiac muscle. They resist
mechanical stress because they adopt a strongly adhesive state in which they are said to be …

Classical cadherins mediate specific adhesion at intercellular adherens junctions.
Interactions between cadherin ectodomains from apposed cells mediate cell–cell contact …

Cadherins are a superfamily of cell surface glycoproteins whose ectodomains contain
multiple repeats of β-sandwich extracellular cadherin (EC) domains that adopt a similar fold …

Adherens junctions, which play a central role in intercellular adhesion, comprise clusters of
type I classical cadherins that bind via extracellular domains extended from opposing cell …

Ca2+-dependent cell–cell adhesion is regulated by the cadherin family of cell adhesion
proteins. Cadherins form trans-interactions on opposing cell surfaces which result in weak …

Desmosomes are intercellular adhesive junctions that impart strength to vertebrate tissues.
Their dense, ordered intercellular attachments are formed by desmogleins (Dsgs) and …

Cadherins are Ca2+-dependent cell adhesion molecules found in several kinds of cell-cell
contact, including adherens junctions and desmosomes. In the presence of Ca2+, cells …
