Cell adhesion molecule L1, a key member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Its functions extend from guiding neuronal ...

The activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) is a critical member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that mediates both homotypic and heterotypic cell interactions. It plays a central role in ...

Human colon cancer cells; cell nuclei are stained red and the protein E-cadherin — a cell adhesion molecule — is stained green. When E-cadherin decreases, it may signal the start of a process in which ...

A new microfluidic technology that leverages immune cell behavior is set to transform cancer monitoring, thanks to researchers at UNIST. Led by Professor Joo Hun Kang in the Department of Biomedical ...

Surgical adhesions — common, sometimes life-threatening complications that arise after open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery — can be prevented in mice and pigs by a gel impregnated with a molecule ...
