Changes in cell-cell interactions are critical in the process of cancer progression. Likewise, it has been shown that loss of expression of the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin is associated with grade, stage, and prognosis in many carcinomas, including prostate cancer. Impaired E-cadherin-mediated

The ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) is the origin of the majority of human ovarian cancers. These adenocarcinomas are characterized by initial local growth followed by spreading into the peritoneal cavity at later stages of tumor progression. The cell-adhesion molecule E-cadherin (E-cad) plays an i
The cadherins are key morphoregulators. A switch in the cadherin subtype(s) expressed by a population of cells has been associated with the differentiation and formation of tissues during embryonic development. To date, the role(s) of the cadherins in the highly regulated remodeling processes which
