what are actin filaments edit actin filaments f actin are linear polymers of globular actin g actin subunits and occur as microfilaments in the cytoskeleton and as thin filaments which are part of the contractile apparatus in muscle and nonmuscle cells see contractile bundles
CELLULAR ADHESION MOLECULES 91 Thus, modulation of syndecan expression may be required for the maintenance of some tumors.67 In humans, Ridley et al68 have examined syndecan expression, structure, and function on myeloma cells.
Adhesion vs. Cohesion. Cohesion is the property of like molecules (of the same substance) to stick to each other due to mutual attraction. Adhesion is the property of different molecules or surfaces to cling to each other. For example, solids have high cohesive properties so they do not stick to the surfaces they come in contact.
