Summary

• There has been an explosion of interest in adhesion molecules in recent years and this has led to a greater understanding of cell behaviour in physiological and pathological situations. What has become increasingly clear is that data from enquiry-based research are eminently suited to be translated into applied clinical research.
• This timely and informative book introduces the topic of cell adhesion to the non-specialist and signifies areas where continuing research may yield results of clinical benefit. It will appeal to a wide audience including clinicians and postgraduate researchers in immunology and molecular biology and those involved in rheumatology, dermatology, gastroenterology, cardiology and haematology.
