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 integrin family of transmembrane adhesion receptors is essential for sensing and
adhering to the extracellular environment. Integrins are heterodimers composed of non …

Several molecular mechanisms contribute directly and mechanically to the loss of epithelial
phenotype. During epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), adherens junctions and …

This review focuses on providing insights into the structural basis and clinical relevance of
LFA‐1 and VLA‐4 inhibition by peptides and small molecules as adhesion‐based …

CD103 (αE) integrin expression distinguishes a population of dendritic cells (DCs) that can
be found in many if not all lymphoid and non‐lymphoid organs. CD103+ DCs display distinct …

Integrins are a structurally elaborate family of adhesion molecules that transmit signals
bidirectionally across the plasma membrane by undergoing large-scale structural …

One of the most important cell–cell interactions is that of the sperm with the egg. This
interaction, which begins with cell adhesion and culminates with membrane fusion, is …

The epithelia are the avascular layers of cells that cover the environment-exposed surfaces
of the body. It appears that T cells localize to selected sites in or adjacent to epithelia via the …

Cell adhesion mediated by type I cadherins involves homophilic “trans” interactions that are
thought to be brought about by a strand exchange mechanism involving the N-terminal …

Integrins are cell surface receptors with bidirectional signalling capabilities that can bind to
adhesion molecules in order to mediate homing of leukocytes to peripheral tissues. Gut …
