Migrating cells form dynamic and highly regulated adhesive interactions with their environment. In particular, integrin-mediated adhesions to the extracellular matrix (ECM) play a central role in cell migration. This review focuses on recent advances in understanding the adhesive mechanisms that reg
## Abstract Elevated expression of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase EphA3 is associated with lymphocytic leukaemia, but little is known about its expression or function in solid tumours. Out of a panel of cancer cell lines, we found that EphA3 was expressed only on two rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell l
## Abstract Axonal signals are critical in promoting the survival and maturation of oligodendrocytes during myelination, with contactโdependent signals thought to play a key role. However, the exact nature of these signals remains unclear. Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is expressed by both a
## Abstract Proximal tubular epithelial cells differ from other epithelial cells in the expression of Nโcadherin as major adherens junction protein instead of Eโcadherin. Migration of proximal epithelial cells (HKCโ8) was analyzed by scratch wounding and by a barrier assay, which allowed determinat
