1.   However, the final, as yet small, family of cell adhesion molecules bind to carbohydrates.

2.   This suggests a possible tumour suppressor function for this cell adhesion molecule.

3.   Preliminary characterisation suggests that the gene product resembles a cell adhesion molecule and may therefore regulate the interaction of a cell with its environment.

4.   Brain cells use special proteins called cell adhesion molecules that help the cells stay in proper alignment for sending signals throughout the brain, Brentani said.
