There has been an expansion of knowledge about cell adhesion mechanisms which has led to increased understanding of cell behaviour in physiological and pathological situations. This overview introduces the non-specialist to the topic, it presents the basic background and concentrates on clinical aspects of the wide variety of cell adhesion molecule-related diseases which clinicians regularly see in practice. The book is intended for clinical researchers in immunology and molecular biology, as well as rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology, cardiology and haematology.
