The past few years have seen considerable advances in our understanding of the molecular basis underlying cutaneous cell adhesion mechanisms. Co-authored by a number of leading experts in the field Cell Adhesion and Migration in Skin Disease provides a comprehensive overview of the critical
role played by cell adhesion in determining the structure and function of both healthy and diseased human skin.The book is divided into three main sections, with each one addressing a principal function of
adhesion molecules.The first part focuses on the epidermis, which as the skin's outermost layer, acts as the human body's primary barrier of defence. Roles played by cytoskeletal intermediate filaments…
