A list of puns related to "Cell adhesion"
Please help me remember these. I know cadherins because it starts with a "C," CELL-CELL. I confuse integrins and selections. And do you guys think the card for "Cell Adhesion Molecules" is a bad card the way the definition is written? When I look at it, it makes me assume that it's talking about Cadherins.

I've only just glanced at this study and haven't yet had time to read it in full, but it's been hailed as a bit of a landmark in the EDS community. Essentially, it makes the case that it is not faulty collagen or elastin fibrils that cause connective tissue symptoms in Ehlers-Danlos sufferers (to whom, Minox sufferers bear a relation), but rather fibroblasts, cells which act on the connective tissue and regulate how and when it tightens and loosens (so far as I can understand from a very swift reading). Another interesting fact: Minoxidil has been shown in multiple studies to inhibit fibroblast proliferation (which is essential for wound healing) and cause changes to the enzymes in fibroblasts which, presumably, govern how they function. It's impossible to tell because none of us, so far as I know, have had collagen and elastin tests yet, e.g. transmission electron microscopy, but it may be that the problems lies with these fibroblast cells, rather than collagen fibrils. If indeed, Minoxidil side effects are connective tissue related at all.
EDIT: The above is just a sketchy half thought. I will do more reading and once it's a bit more substantial, add it to the Wiki.
