Abstract

The morphology of rat embryonic day 14 (E14) mesencephalic neurons has been studied in vitro under different conditions of neuron-substratum adhesion. Results suggest that decreasing adhesion favors axonal elongation and inhibits the growth of dendrites. This observation is interpreted according to a hypothetical model based on the existence of different physical properties between the two categories of neurites.

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.
