Journal ArticleDOI
Cadherin cell adhesion receptors as a morphogenetic regulator
TL;DR: Cadherins are a family of cell adhesion receptors that are crucial for the mutual association of vertebrate cells and play a role in cell sorting mechanisms, conferring adhesion specificities on cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cadherins: cell-cell adhesion molecules controlling animal morphogenesis.
TL;DR: It appears that each cadherin subclass has binding specificity and this molecular family is involved in selective cell-cell adhesion, indicating a crucial role in construction of tissues and the whole animal body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphogenetic roles of classic cadherins
TL;DR: Classic cadherins, which are known to be crucial for homotypic cell-cell adhesion, have been found to be present not only in vertebrate but also in invertebrate species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadherins: A Molecular Family Important in Selective Cell-Cell Adhesion
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of cDNA transference studies on CADherin FUNCTION and discusses the role of CADherins 1N MORPHOGENESIS in this research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadherins in cancer: implications for invasion and metastasis.
TL;DR: The perturbation of cadherin function causes temporal or permanent disaggregation of tumor cells and may thus promote the invasion and metastasis of such cells.
