Adhesion

Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another.

See Malcolm Steinberg and Adhesion

Biologist

A biologist is a scientist who conducts research in biology.

See Malcolm Steinberg and Biologist

Cadherin

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are cell adhesion molecules important in forming adherens junctions that let cells adhere to each other.

See Malcolm Steinberg and Cadherin

Cancer

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

See Malcolm Steinberg and Cancer

Cell adhesion molecule

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are a subset of cell surface proteins that are involved in the binding of cells with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM), in a process called cell adhesion.

See Malcolm Steinberg and Cell adhesion molecule

Differential adhesion hypothesis

Differential adhesion hypothesis (DAH) is a hypothesis that explains cellular movement during morphogenesis with thermodynamic principles.

See Malcolm Steinberg and Differential adhesion hypothesis

Embryo

An embryo is the initial stage of development for a multicellular organism.

See Malcolm Steinberg and Embryo

Surface tension

Surface tension is the tendency of liquid surfaces at rest to shrink into the minimum surface area possible.
