How can you use “cell-adhesion” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

To characterize the response of epithelial cells to CSC we determined the changes in message levels for a group of cytokines, chemokines and cell-adhesion molecules.
IL-1β coordinately reduced expression of integrin a1, a cell-adhesion molecule that chondrocytes use to bind to type II collagen [ 48].
SL-1 induction in p2S cells, an untransformed mouse mammary epithelial cell line, triggered the disappearance of E-cadherin and beta-catenin from cell-cell junctions and reduced the expression of beta-catenin [ 35 ] . Wnt-5a and SL-1 may play similar roles in inhibiting cadherin-mediated cell-adhesion, as Wnt-5a decreases Ca 2+-dependent cell adhesion similar to a dominant negative cadherin [ 11 ] . The regulation of SL-1 by Wnt-5a may be important in developmental processes such as gastrulation where Wnt-5a affects the morphogenetic movement of tissues [ 45 ] .
Thus, these proteins are good candidates to link the integrin-mediated TGFβ 1 signaling to the MAP kinase pathway, as was shown previously for signaling events induced by fluid stress or integrin mediated cell-adhesion in other cell types [ 71 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 ] .
