Tokyo, Dec 26 (IANS) A team of Japanese scientists has revealed for the first time that a protein better known for its role in the immune system tells developing cells to stick together.

Tohoku University scientists have, for the first time, provided experimental evidence that cell stickiness helps them stay sorted within correct compartments during development.
