Multicellular organisms including human beings need cell adhesion, communication and differentiation for their existence. The role of individual cells in the cellular society varies during development or regeneration. Cell adhesion also shows dynamic changes in these processes. In some diseases, disorder is caused by the disturbance of networks in the cell society resulting from the abnormal cell adhesion and communication. New molecular findings as well as evolutional insight will be important to understand the mechanism of cell adhesion (proteins and glycoconjugates). From a viewpoint of cell sociology, I investigate various biological phenomena and diseases.
