In many types of solid tumours, the aberrant expression of the cell adhesion molecule N-
cadherin is a hallmark of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, resulting in the acquisition of …

Consolidation of implicit memory in the invertebrate Aplysia and explicit memory in the
mammalian hippocampus are associated with remodeling and growth of preexisting …

Neuronal circuits in the brain are shaped by experience during'critical periods' in early
postnatal life. In the primary visual cortex, this activity-dependent development is triggered …

Experience exerts a profound influence on the brain and, therefore, on behavior. When the
effect of experience on the brain is particularly strong during a limited period in …

Tissue morphogenesis during development is dependent on activities of the cadherin family
of cell–cell adhesion proteins that includes classical cadherins, protocadherins, and atypical …

Accumulating data support the importance of interactions between pre-and postsynaptic
neuronal elements with astroglial processes and extracellular matrix (ECM) for formation …

Many cell adhesion molecules are localized at synaptic sites in neuronal axons and
dendrites. These molecules bridge pre-and postsynaptic specializations but do far more …

E-cadherin controls a wide array of cellular behaviors including cell–cell adhesion,
differentiation and tissue development. Here we show that presenilin-1 (PS1), a protein …

Interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) have long been accepted to
have pivotal roles in neural development and regeneration. Recent data also support the …

Cadherins are Ca2+-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecules that play critical roles in
animal morphogenesis. Various cadherin-related molecules have also been identified …
