Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) 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, including tissue formation, immune response, and wound healing. By facilitating cell-to-cell and cell-to-extracellular matrix interactions, CAMs ensure that cells maintain their structure and function within tissues. There are several types of CAMs, including cadherins, integrins, and selectins. Each type has a specific role in mediating adhesion and signaling between cells. Proper functioning of CAMs is essential for maintaining healthy tissues, and their dysfunction can lead to various diseases, including cancer and inflammatory disorders.
