## Abstract A comparative ultrastructural study of the organization of intermediate filaments (tonofilaments) within normal colonic epithelium and colonic carcinoma cells was carried out. The pattern of development of the specialized intermediate filament (IF) network, occurring during the differen

Abstract
The proliferative potential of nonmalignant and malignant cells obtained from the human large bowel was assessed with a soft agar culture colonyβforming technique and by flow cytometry to analyze cell cycle kinetics. No colony formation occurred with samples of normal human adult colon mucosa. The absence of colony formation in all but 1 of 24 evaluable colorectal adenomas suggested that malignancy of tissue in vivo is generally necessary for colony formation to occur in soft agar cultures. A high proliferative index (S + G~2~/M), as assessed by flow cytometry, was significantly associated with higher soft agar culture counts in a series of 25 colorectal carcinomas.

E-cadherin is the major cell-cell adhesion molecule expressed by epithelial cells. Cadherins form a complex with three cytoplasmic proteins, β£-, β€-, and β₯-catenin, and the interaction between them is crucial for anchoring the actin cytoskeleton to the intercellular adherens junctions. The invasive b
Up-regulation of the synthesis of carbohydrate tumorassociated antigens terminated by the disaccharide Fucβ£1-2Gal is frequent in colon carcinoma and associated with poor prognosis. There is evidence that Fucβ£1-2Gal (H-disaccharide) structures increase cancer-cell motility and tumorigenicity by as-ye
