Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are proteins that are involved in the attachment and communication of cells with their surrounding environment. They play a crucial role in many physiological processes such as cell migration, tissue formation, and immune response. CAMs are divided into several families based on their structure and function, including integrins, cadherins, selectins, and immunoglobulin-like CAMs. CAMs are important for maintaining tissue integrity and facilitating cell signaling, interactions, and adhesion to other cells or the extracellular matrix. Dysregulation of CAMs has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and developmental abnormalities. Research in the area of cell adhesion molecules focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying their functions, as well as their role in disease pathogenesis. This research may provide insights into potential therapeutic targets for various diseases and improve our understanding of cell behavior and communication.
