Recent Advances in Adhesions Research

In this book, the authors present current research in the study of adhesions. Topics discussed in this compilation include surface analysis techniques for root canal filling adhesion studies; polysialylated-neural cell adhesion molecules in the human nervous system at prenatal, postnatal and adult ages; surgical adhesives; interaction of diamond-transition metal substrates and interfacial adhesion enhancement/failure mechanisms; inhibition and impairment of cell adhesions; and effects of anti-cell adhesion molecules to prevent heart transplant rejection.
