Overview

Cell adhesion - the attachment of cells to any surface such as other cell membranes or tissues - is a complex process. In many physiological and pathological processes, adhesion of a cell is the first critical step. This monograph describes the powerful techniques currently available to study the basic parameters of cell adhesion, including binding strength, binding efficiency, membrane-membrane or membrane-substrate interaction, structural properties and dynamics of cell surface molecules. Sophisticated quantitative approaches as well as semi-quantitative methods are described. The detailed theoretical background allows the critical assessment and application of these techniques.
