The junction between cytokines and cell adhesion.
Several aspects of the interactions between growth factors and cell adhesion are described. Recent advances in the field come from the identification of molecules resembling growth factors or growth factor receptors, which bear cell adhesion motifs as well as molecules participating in both cell growth control and adhesion.
