Cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and their surroundings through proteins. There are several types of cell adhesion molecules including immunoglobulin super family CAMs, integrins, selectins, and cadherins. Cadherins like E-cadherin form adherens junctions between cells and link to actin through catenins. Changes in cell adhesion can lead to diseases such as cancer where reduced adhesion allows cancer cells to invade other tissues. Cell adhesion molecules are important for tissue development and function.
Cell junctions connect neighboring cells and classify into occluding, communicating, and anchoring junctions. Occluding junctions like tight junctions prevent molecules from passing between cells. Communicating junctions like gap junctions allow small molecules to pass directly between cells, allowing cell-to-cell communication. Anchoring junctions provide structural strength and attachment between cells or between cells and the extracellular matrix. Major anchoring junctions include desmosomes and hemidesmosomes.
Cell junctions are specialized contact sites that hold cells together and attach cells to the extracellular matrix. They are classified into three main groups: tight junctions, gap junctions, and adherens junctions. Tight junctions form continuous seals around cells to control permeability and prevent diffusion between cells. Gap junctions allow small molecules and ions to pass directly between cells to facilitate cell-cell communication. Adherens junctions, such as desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, anchor cells to other cells or the extracellular matrix. Cell adhesion molecules like cadherins, integrins, and immunoglobulin superfamily proteins mediate cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion through homophilic or heterophilic binding interactions.

This document discusses solitary and social organization in animals. Solitary animals like tigers live and hunt alone except for mating, while social animals interact highly with others of their species. Social living provides potential benefits to animals like protection from predators, enhanced feeding opportunities, and more reproductive opportunities. Honey bees are provided as an example of highly social animals, living in large colonies with different castes including queens, drones, and worker bees. Experiments on ant colonies found that larger colonies are more energetically efficient despite more individuals, as inactive ants can activate during crises.
The document discusses abscisic acid (ABA), a plant hormone. It notes that in the 1940s, scientists isolated a substance from sycamore leaves called dormins, and in the 1960s it was determined to induce dormancy. In 1964, it was discovered these were all the same hormone, later named ABA. ABA is synthesized from carotenoids in the plastids and cytoplasm. It regulates several processes including seed dormancy, bud dormancy, stomatal closure, and leaf senescence. ABA perception involves membrane receptors that then activate transcription factors to regulate many stress response genes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Cell-cell adhesion
• Cell adhesion is the ability of a single cell to stick to another
cell or an extracellular matrix (ECM).
• Cell adhesion molecules are proteins that help cell stick to
each other and to the surroundings.
• Adhesion plays an integral role in cell communication and
regulation, and is of fundamental importance in the
development and maintenance of tissues.
3. Continue..
• Cell adhesion is involved in stimulating signals that regulate
cell differentiation, cell cycle, cell migration, and cell survival.
• According to the “cell adhesion model”, the more a cell sticks
the more it shows the greater number of chemical bonds it has
on its surface.
4. Continue…
• Changes in cell adhesion can be the defining event in a wide
range of diseases including arthritis, atherosclerosis,
osteoporosis, and cancer .
• Cell adhesiveness is generally reduced in human cancers.
Reduced intercellular adhesiveness allows cancer cells to
disobey the social order, resulting in destruction of histological
structure, which may be related to the invasive and metastatic
potential.

• They all have 5 extracellular cadherin domain ended with
amino terminal NH2.
• The N terminal of the Extra cadherin domain will bind to
the neighboring N terminal of the EC domain.
• The binding is dependent to the extra cellular Ca ions.
21. 3.Desmosomal Cadherin:
• Types: Desmocollin (1,2,3) and Desmoglein (1,2,3,4)
• Structure:
• They all have 5 extracellular cadherin domain ended with NH2. (1 E
anchor domain and 4 EC domains distally).
• The N terminal of the Extra cadherin domain will bind to the neighboring
N terminal of the EC domain.
• The cytoplasmic terminal end binds to 2 proteins:
• 1.Plakoglobin= γ catenin
• 2.Plakophilin
• These two proteins will bind to desmoplakin intermediate filament
(Keratin)
• The binding is dependent to the extra cellular Ca ions.
22. The extracellular core allows water and ions flow in between the cells.
E.g: Skin, Intestins
23. Selectin
• Selectins:
• Example:
• 1.P- Selectin: Found on the endothelial cells to help the recruitment
of the neutrophils, P-Selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, type 1
activation (induced by histamine and induced in minutes) .
• 2.E-Selectin: Found on the endothelial cells and binds to Sialyl-
Lewis X found always on the surface of the neutrophil type 2
activation (takes hours).
24. • L-Selectin:
• The high endothelial cells allows the naïve T lymphocytes to
move from the blood into lymph nodes and back out.
• Naïve T-lymphocytes have on their surface the L-Selectin
that binds to GLYCAM-1 on the high endothelial cells
movement of the lymphocyte to the Lymph node.
