## Abstract The integrity of epithelia depends largely on specialised adhesive structures, the adherens junctions. Several of the components required for building these structures are highly conserved between vertebrates and insects (e.g. Eβcadherin and Ξ±β and Ξ²βcatenin), while others have so far b
## Abstract We have previously shown that culturing HepG2 cells in pH 6.6 culture medium increases the cβSrcβdependent tyrosine phosphorylation of Ξ²βcatenin and induces disassembly of adherens junctions (AJs). Here, we investigated the upstream mechanism leading to this pH 6.6βinduced modification
Different studies of Wilms' tumours have demonstrated a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 16q ranging from 17 to 25%. In order to search for a potential tumour suppressor gene on 16q, we chose the calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules E-cadherin and cadherin-11 as candidate genes, which
