Abstract

The strength required for the cell separation is calculated with assumption of cohesive rupture of the cell contact. It is shown that the strength of cell separation depends on cohesion of the cell membrane and length of the membrane rupture. The obtained values of are in better agreement with the experimental data than the calculations made on the ground of the colloidal stability theory.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
