Cell Adhesion and Migration

---

Cell adhesion and migration are critical processes for the development and maintenance of tissues and organs in multicellular organisms. Adhesion molecules, such as integrins and cadherins, enable cells to attach to each other and to the extracellular matrix, while cytoskeletal components drive cell movement. Dysregulation of adhesion and migration can lead to a range of diseases, including cancer and inflammatory disorders. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes is therefore essential for the development of new therapies and treatments.
