Cell adhesion underpins the assembly, patterning and function of the nervous system by directing how neurons recognise each other and establish precise connections. Key families of adhesion molecules, ...

Cell adhesion is governed by a network of molecular interactions that translate mechanical forces into biochemical signals, enabling processes such as immune surveillance, tissue morphogenesis and ...

The cells of all animals—including humans—are characterized by their ability to adhere particularly well to surfaces in their environment. This mechanically stable adhesion enables the development of ...
