Abstract excerpt
It is thought that the cadherin protein family of cell adhesion molecules regulates morphogenetic events in multicellular organisms. In this study we have investigated the importance of beta-cell cadherins for cell-cell interactions mediating the organization of endocrine cells into pancreatic islets of Langerhans. To interfere with endogenous cadherin activity in beta-cells during pancreatic development, we...
