A review of cell adhesion studies for biomedical and biological applications

Cell adhesion is essential in cell communication and regulation, and is of fundamental importance in the development and maintenance of tissues. The mechanical interactions between a cell and its extracellular matrix (ECM) can influence and control cell behavior and function. The essential function...

description Cell adhesion is essential in cell communication and regulation, and is of fundamental importance in the development and maintenance of tissues.

The study of cell adhesion could be categorized into cell adhesion attachment and detachment events. The study of cell adhesion has been widely explored via both events for many important purposes in cellular biology, biomedical, and engineering fields.
