... a variety of cellular patterns, including mosaic patterns. At least three types of cell–cell adhesion have been observed: symmetric homotypic, asymmetric homotypic and heterotypic cell adhesions. Cadherins and nectins, which are known cell–cell adhesion molecules, mediate these cell adhesions. Cadherins...
