Modulation of cell-cell interactions for neural tissue engineering : potential therapeutic applications of cell adhesion molecules in nerve regeneration by Chooi, Wai Hon, Chew, Sing Yian

“…Therefore, modulating cell-cell interactions through cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) such as cadherins, neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAM) and L1, may be a potential alternative to improve nerve regeneration. …”

The leucocyte β2 (CD18) integrins : the structure, functional regulation and signalling properties by Tan, Suet Mien

“…Their ability to migrate into tissues and organs is dependent on cell adhesion molecules. The integrins are a family of heterodimeric transmembrane cell adhesion molecules that are also signalling receptors. …”

Fundamental characteristics of neuron adhesion revealed by forced peeling and time-dependent healing by Liu, Haipei, Fang, Chao, Gong, Ze, Chang, Raymond Chuen-Chung, Qian, Jin, Gao, Huajian, Lin, Yuan

“…At the same time, a total internal reflection fluorescence microscope is also used to monitor the activities of neural cell adhesion molecules (NCAMs) during detaching. It was found that NCAMs aggregate into clusters at the neurite-substrate interface, resulting in strong local attachment with an adhesion energy of ∼0.1 mJ/m2 and sudden force jumps in the recorded force-displacement curve. …”

pIgR and PECAM-1 bind to pneumococcal adhesins RrgA and PspC mediating bacterial brain invasion by Iovino, Federico, Engelen-Lee, Joo-Yeon, Brouwer, Matthijs, van de Beek, Diederik, van der Ende, Arie, Valls Seron, Merche, Mellroth, Peter, Muschiol, Sandra, Bergstrand, Jan, Widengren, Jerker, Henriques-Normark, Birgitta

“…Using stimulated emission depletion (STED) super-resolution microscopy of brain biopsies from patients who died of pneumococcal meningitis, we observe that pneumococci colocalize with the two BBB endothelial receptors: polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1). We show that the major adhesin of the pneumococcal pilus-1, RrgA, binds both receptors, whereas the choline binding protein PspC binds, but to a lower extent, only pIgR. …”
