Role of E-cadherin and other cell adhesion molecules in survival and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The survival, proliferation, self-renewal and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs, including human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells) involve a number of processes that require cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), a group of cell surface proteins play a pivotal role in mediating such interactions. Recent studies have provided...
