Popis: | Cadherin-catenin complexes have been well established as key regulators of cell adhesion. Recent work has elucidated a pivotal role for these molecules in synaptic assembly, remodelling and plasticity. Far from being mere adhesive scaffolds, cadherins might directly regulate cell signalling to modulate synaptic connectivity. |
