New Family of Adhesion Proteins Discovered

White blood cells in the human body target their destinations by attaching themselves to tissues meant for the specific area using adhesion proteins. Two proteins that have been cloned and sequenced by genetic researchers exhibit similar and distinctive structures that mark them as part of the adhes...
