✦ Synopsis
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 regulate cell detachment at the rear of migrating fibroblasts and neutrophils. The contribution of several key adhesive regulators is discussed, including myosin mediated cell contractility, tyrosine phosphorylation, rho, calcium fluxes, and calpain. A challenge for future investigation will be to determine how adhesive events are spatially and temporally coordinated to promote productive directional cell movements.

In the mature nervous system adhesion molecules appear to play a rather static role, maintaining synaptic connections, cell-cell contacts and stabilizing neuron-glial interactions. In contrast, during development and learning, adhesive mechanisms are dynamically regulated both spatially and temporal
Axons are guided along their trajectories during development by many different systems of adhesion, attraction, and repulsion. Thus, many distinct, and potentially competing, receptor systems respond to environmental cues, and the information must be coordinated inside the growth cone to ensure that
Trophoblast cells of the peri-implantation blastocyst differentiate from a polarized epithelium, the trophectoderm, into invasive cells having an apical surface occupied by integrins that mediate adhesion to the extracellular matrix. Blastocyst differentiation was assessed during serum-free culture
The survival, proliferation and differentiation of neuroblastoma (NB) cells are largely dependent on adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Integrin occupancy seems to play a primary role. To elucidate the role of integrin heterodimers during neuronal cell death, we have analysed the chang
