(Redirected from Adhesion molecules). Cell adhesion molecules (CAM s) are proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings.
Cohesion refers to a liquid's attraction to itself, that is , between its atoms or molecules. Adhesion is the attraction of the liquid to the container holding it. For exampleâ¦, the surface of water in a glass curves upwards at the rim- also known as the meniscus, because adhesion exceeds cohesion.
