title: Cadherins and catenins in development.
abstract: Cadherins and catenins represent key molecules during development. Recent findings demonstrate the involvement of cadherins and catenins in signaling pathways. In a working hypothesis, signaling via beta-catenin regulates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vertebrate development.
