Cell Adhesion Web sites worth visiting
*** "Inflammation: The Leukocyte Adhesion Cascade" This is an excellent web site and well worth visiting. It includes a lot of information that is directly relevant to the lecture. http://bme.virginia.edu/ley/index.html
Extra information on cell adhesion molecules: quite a good summary on cadherins, selectins and an overview of integrin adhesion. http://www.cytochemistry.net/Cell-biology/adhesion_molecules.htm
Go to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=books and open the on-line version of "Molecular Biology of the Cell" and look at chapter 19 - key "cell-cell adhesion" into the search box will get you there.
Neuromuscular Adhesion molecules. This site also has overviews of the main adhesion molecule families with links to further more detailed information. http://www.neuro.wustl.edu/neuromuscular/lab/adhesion.htm
Cell Adhesion under fluid flow. This site contains real life pictures and videos of cells involved in adhesion to blood vessel walls. Giving an idea of firm adhesion and rolling. http://www.ent.ohiou.edu/~adhesion/
