Three Functions of Cadherins in Cell Adhesion
Cadherins are transmembrane proteins that mediate cell-cell adhesion in animals. By regulating contact formation and stability, cadherins play a crucial role in tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis. Here, we review the three major functions of cadherins in cell-cell contact formation and stability. Two of those functions lead to a decrease in interfacial tension at the forming cell-cell contact...
متن کاملCadherins are a superfamily of adhesion molecules
Cadherins are a family of membrane receptors that mediate calcium dependent homophilic cell–cell adhesion. Cadherins play a key role in the regulation of organ and tissue development during embryogenesis. In adult organisms, these proteins are responsible for formation of stable cell–cell junctions and maintenance of normal tissue structure. Disruption in expression or function of cadherins may...
متن کاملCadherins in development: cell adhesion, sorting, and tissue morphogenesis.
Tissue morphogenesis during development is dependent on activities of the cadherin family of cell-cell adhesion proteins that includes classical cadherins, protocadherins, and atypical cadherins (Fat, Dachsous, and Flamingo). The extracellular domain of cadherins contains characteristic repeats that regulate homophilic and heterophilic interactions during adhesion and cell sorting. Although cad...
متن کاملA Quantitative Assessment of SENSATIONAL Quantitative Assessment of SENSATIONAL
Word sense disambiguation is the problem of selecting a sense for a word from a set of predefined possibilities. This is a significant problem in the biomedical domain where a single word may be used to describe a gene, protein, or abbreviation. In this paper, we evaluate SENSATIONAL, a novel unsupervised WSD technique, in comparison with two popular learning algorithms, support vector machines...
متن کاملHearing beyond the spectrum
In this work we focus on the problem of acoustic signals modeling and analysis, with particular interest in models that can capture the timbre of musical sounds. Traditional methods usually relate to several "dimensions" which represent the spectral properties of the signal and their change in time. Here we connne ourselves to the stationary portion of the sound signal, who's analysis is genera...
