Abstract excerpt
Cell-cell adhesion, as mediated by the cadherin-catenin system, is a prerequisite for normal cell function and the preservation of tissue integrity. With recent progress in our understanding, beta-catenin as a component of a complex signal transduction pathway may serve as a common switch in central processes that regulate cellular differentiation and growth. The function of the cadherin-catenin system in cell...
