Cell adhesion is the process by which
cells form contacts with each other or with their substratum through specialized protein complexes. Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens junctions, tight junctions and desmosomes, whereas
cells can interact with extracellular matrix molecules through focal adhesions. Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are a subset of cell adhesion 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.
This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research
articles but also review
articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact
factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact
factor plays a major role for the particular journal. Journal with higher impact
factor is considered to be more important than other ones.
