Cell Adhesion Molecules and Oral Cancer

Abstract excerpt

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are found on the surfaces of all cells, where they bind to extracellular matrix molecules or to receptors on other cells. As well as having a structural role, CAMs function as signaling receptors, transducing signals initiated by cellular interactions which regulate many diverse processes, including cell division, migration, and differentiation. Cell adhesion molecules are essential...
