Cell–Cell Adhesion Molecules and the Development of an Epithelial Phenotype in Cultured Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells

For most epithelial cells, the adherens junction protein E-cadherin is an epithelial morphogen, inducing the development of an epithelial phenotypein vitroafter cell contact at confluency. Here retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE), which lack E-cadherin but express a cadherin that is also found in...
