90 Day Deep Dive Podcast Series into the World of Human Receptor Pharmacology - Day 63 Cadherins & Cell-Cell Adhesion
from Cannabinoid and Psychedelic Pharmacology and Drug Development
This podcast episode explores the fascinating world of cadherins and cell adhesion. The discussion breaks down how these essential proteins work as molecular "glue" to hold cells together, requiring calcium to function. The hosts explain different types of cadherins (E-cadherin for epithelial tissues, N-cadherin for neural tissues, and P-cadherin for placenta)and dive into how they form specialized adherens junctions. The conversation also covers how cadherins interact with the cytoskeleton, regulate contact inhibition, and help establish cell polarity.
