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

Over the past decade there have been many attempts to identify the molecules that serve as ligands in cell-cell adhesion. In general, these studies have focused on a search for substances endogenous to a tissue that can either enhance or inhibit aggregation directly and that either demonstrate tissu
The inner ear forms by a series of folds within an ectodermal placode. Previous work has shown that changes in surrounding tissues play a more prominent role in invagination than changes in the cytoskeleton of the primordium. Interference with the integrity of the extracellular matrix causes abnorma
The late onset of necrosis and fibrosis in normal tissues can be a serious consequence of radiotherapy in cancer patients. Because radiation-induced vascular injury precedes the tissue damage, vascular injury is regarded as crucial in the pathogenesis of tissue damage. An understanding of the proces
## Abstract Leukocyte infiltration is a hallmark of the atherosclerotic lesion. These cells are captured by cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs), including vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1), intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1), platelet‐endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM), and
