    GlossaryAdhesion Molecules

    proteins on cell surfaces that enable cell-to-cell binding

    Adhesion molecules are proteins located on the surface of cells that help them stick to each other and to their surroundings. They play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as immune response, wound healing, and the maintenance of tissue structure. For example, in the context of hair biology, adhesion molecules can influence how hair follicle cells interact and function, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.
