Cell Adhesion Molecules
Research News and Information

Definition of 'Cell Adhesion Molecules'

Surface ligands, usually glycoproteins, that mediate cell-to-cell adhesion. Their functions include the assembly and interconnection of various vertebrate systems, as well as maintenance of tissue integration, wound healing, morphogenic movements, cellular migrations, and metastasis.

Common names: Cell Adhesion Molecules; Adhesion Molecules, Cell; Molecules, Cell Adhesion; Leukocyte Adhesion Molecules; Adhesion Molecules, Leukocyte; Molecules, Leukocyte Adhesion; Saccharide-Mediated Cell Adhesion Molecules; Saccharide Mediated Cell Adhesion Molecules; Intercellular Adhesion Molecules

Phenotypic diversity of Flo protein family-mediated adhesion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

9 Dec 2009 The Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome encodes a Flo (flocculin) adhesin family responsible for cell-cell and cell-surface adherence. In commonly used laboratory strains, these FLO genes are transcriptionally silent, because of a nonsense mutation in ... Read more...


Molecular mechanisms mediating protective effect of cAMP on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVEC) hyperpermeability.

29 Nov 2009 Up to date, the nature of the sepsis-induced vascular leakage is understood only partially, which limits pharmacological approaches for its management. Here we studied the protective effect of cAMP using endotoxin-induced hyperpermeability as a ... Read more...


Immunolocalization of laminin and integrin in regenerating junctional epithelium of mice after gingivectomy.

27 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The expression patterns of adhesive proteins and extracellular matrix proteins in regenerating gingival epithelium after gingivectomy are unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of laminin 1, laminin ... Read more...
