摘要
Cadherins - a family of cell-cell adhesion molecules - are linked to the actin cytoskeleton via intervening proteins. Recent results address molecular explanations for observed cadherin behavior, point to signals that regulate adhesion by modulating elements of the cadherin-associated complex, challenge the belief that different cadherins generally cannot cross-adhere, and highlight instructive roles for cadherins in cell signaling and differentiation.
