Both of these types of junctional complexes provide cells and tissues with mechanical support, and they additionally recruit intracellular signaling molecules to relay positional information to ...

Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens junctions, tight junctions and desmosomes, whereas cells can interact with extracellular matrix molecules through focal adhesions. The molecular ...

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 ...
