Abstract

Cell-extracellular matrix interactions are intimately involved in the regulation of many cellular processes such as embryonic development or tumor cell growth and metastasis. In our previous work we were able to detect a 90/100-kDa laminin binding chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. A search for this molecule in different cell lines showed that it is only found in cells that adhere to laminin.

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.
