A diverse system of adhesion molecules and adhesion receptors participates in orchestrating vital biologic phenomena, such as embryogenesis, cell growth and differentiation, and wound repair. Over the past decade there has been immense progress in our understanding of adhesion molecules and their complex interactions. We review the main classes of adhesion receptors and give examples of diseases in which they have been found to be involved.

Among the many types of adhesion receptors on the cell surface, four major families stand out (Figure 1). The integrins are membrane glycoproteins with two subunits, designated and . An important feature . . . [Full Text of this Article]
