Collective cell streams in epithelial monolayers depend on cell adhesion by András Czirók, Katalin Varga, Előd Méhes, András Szabó

“…We report spontaneously emerging, randomly oriented, collective streaming behavior within a monolayer culture of a human keratinocyte cell line, and explore the effect of modulating cell adhesions by perturbing the function of calcium-dependent cell adhesion molecules. We demonstrate that decreasing cell adhesion induces narrower and more anisotropic cell streams, reminiscent of decreasing the Taylor scale of turbulent liquids. …”

Structural perspectives on axon guidance by Seiradake, E, Jones, E, Klein, R

“…Here, we discuss the structure/function relationships of four major classes of guidance cues (ephrins, semaphorins, slits, netrins) and examples of morphogens (Wnt, Shh) and of cell adhesion molecules (FLRT). These cell signaling systems rely on specific modes of receptor-ligand binding that are determined by selective binding sites; however, defined structure-encoded receptor promiscuity also enables cross talk between different receptor/ligand families and can also involve extracellular matrix components. …”

Proteome of endothelial cell-derived procoagulant microparticles. by Banfi, C, Brioschi, M, Wait, R, Begum, S, Gianazza, E, Pirillo, A, Mussoni, L, Tremoli, E

“…Moreover, MP may transfer bioactive molecules to other cells, thereby stimulating them to produce cytokines, cell-adhesion molecules, growth factors and TF, and modulate endothelial functions. …”

The protocadherin 11X/Y (PCDH11X/Y) gene pair as determinant of cerebral asymmetry in modern Homo sapiens. by Priddle, T, Crow, T

“…The Xq21.3/Yp11.2 human-specific region of homology includes the protocadherin 11X/Y (PCDH11X/Y) gene pair, which encode cell adhesion molecules subject to accelerated evolution following the separation of the human and chimpanzee lineages six million years ago. …”
