Cell adhesion
Cell adhesion, where a cell sticks to another cell or to the network of fibres surrounding cells, is critical for normal development and physiology. The book provides a series of current, in-depth, well-illustrated reviews, and covers the structures and functions of the major classes of cell adhesion molecules in a single volume.
