Cell adhesion is the binding of a cell to a surface or substrate, such as an extracellular matrix or another cell. Adhesion occurs from the action of proteins, called cell adhesion molecules, or sometimes adhesins. Examples of these proteins include selectins, integrins, and cadherins. Cellular adhesion is essential in maintaining multicellular st...

Cells sticking together, so that they stay in the right place in the body. Most normal cells must do this to survive. The cells stick together using specific adhesion molecules (receptors) that interact with molecules (counterreceptors) on the surface of other cells.
