What Does ECMCAD Stand For?

ECMCAD stands for Extracellular Matrix And Cell Adhesion Molecule

ECMCAD, or Extracellular Matrix And Cell Adhesion Molecule, refers to a class of biomolecules that play a crucial role in cell adhesion, signaling, and structural support within tissues. These molecules facilitate the interaction between cells and their surrounding extracellular matrix, influencing cellular behavior, development, and tissue integrity. ECMCAD is essential for various biological processes, including wound healing, tissue repair, and the maintenance of cellular architecture. Understanding ECMCAD's function is vital for advancements in regenerative medicine and cancer research.
