Brief description Adhesion between cells holds the human body together and affects many aspects of our health including normal tissue and organ function. Conversely, loss of normal cell-cell adhesion contributes to major diseases, including cancer and inflammation. One key molecule, E-cadherin, is necessary for many epithelial organs and its function is perturbed in disease. This research project addresses how E-cadherin works with a cellular motor, Myosin VI, to maintain the integrity of epithelial tissues.
