Adhesion dynamics at a glance

Abstract excerpt

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells establish complex adhesion-based relationships with their microenvironment. Single-cell bacteria (myxobacter) and amoeba, for example, display social behaviors that include adhesion to substrata and each other (Hodgkin and Kaiser, 1979; Swaney et al., 2010). In eukaryotic multicellular organisms, cells adhere to each other and migrate as sheets during the gastrulation phase...
