摘要: Following the multiplication of biochemical, biophysical and structural studies describing cadherin molecules their interactions, several ideas have emerged to explain mechanisms cadherin-mediated cell adhesion. Although different models were proposed for a consensus has come forth considering lateral dimerization cadherins as being central component cell-cell adhesion process. This review summarizes recent development in cadherins.
