Cell Clumping - (Jul/29/2008 )
I was wondering what causes cell clumping is it something just physical or is it something molecular like actual cadherin-cadherin attachment. The reason I ask is I studying potential effects of a drug on E-cadherin and I wanted to make sure that clumping wasn't messing anything up.

think also of the glycocalyx as oligo- and polymeric carbohydrates
