title: Cell adhesion molecules as morphoregulators.
abstract: Many significant advances have been made recently in our understanding of the structure and function of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). The most provocative, however, are those that indicate that CAM-mediated adhesion may lead to changes in gene expression and those that suggest that the expression of CAM genes may be regulated by the products of Hox and related genes.
