The cadherin-catenin adhesion system in signaling and cancer
To assemble into organized tissues, cells must interact with one another and with the extracellular matrix. Cell-cell adhesion is initiated and maintained by adherens junctions. Within these junctions, transmembrane cadherins bind homophilically to join n eighboring cells. Changes in cell adhesio...
