Adhesion assays are powerful tools to investigate the adhesive properties of cells. The quantification of cell adhesion enables determination of the capacity of cells to stick to a target, screening for novel adhesion involved binding molecules, exploration of structure-function relationships of adh
## Abstract The complex interactions of cells with extracellular matrix (ECM) play crucial roles in mediating and regulating many processes, including cell adhesion, migration, and signaling during morphogenesis, tissue homeostasis, wound healing, and tumorigenesis. Many of these interactions invol
Multicellularity in the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is achieved by the expression of two types of cell-cell adhesion sites. The EDTA-sensitive adhesion sites are expressed very early in the developmental cycle and a surface glycoprotein of 24000Da is known to be responsible for thes
In the present paper, on the basis of the thermodynamic theory proposed by Bell et al. [l], conditions for adhesion are given and the number of bound receptors on a cell is computed, under the hypothesis that two independent receptor-ligand systems, which differ in their affinity, concur to the form
