    GlossaryCell Adhesion

    process where cells stick to each other or surfaces

    Cell adhesion refers to the process by which cells interact and attach to neighboring cells or the extracellular matrix through specialized protein structures on their surfaces. This interaction is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of tissues, facilitating communication between cells, and playing a key role in processes like wound healing and immune responses.
