Hemidesmosomes: roles in adhesion, signaling and human diseases

Current Opinion in Cell Biology
L Borradori, A Sonnenberg

Abstract

Our understanding of the role of hemidesmosomes in cell-substratum adhesion has greatly improved both as a result of targeted gene mutation experiments and by means of observations of several blistering disorders of the skin in which the absence or defects of hemidesmosomal proteins have been demonstrated. Functionally important domains within the proteins that constitute hemidesmosomes have recently been identified by transfection and mutagenesis studies. These multiprotein complexes appear not only to mediate cell adhesion, but also to transduce signals from the extracellular matrix to the cell interior that may profoundly modulate cell behavior.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Absence Epilepsy

Absence epilepsy is a common seizure disorder in children which can produce chronic psychosocial sequelae. Discover the latest research on absence epilepsies here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
