(Sperry, 1963), adhesion is a spatially and temporally dynamic process mediated in a series of stages by at least three different families of molecules [see Edelman and Thiery (1985)]. It is under cellular control as a function of place, affecting gene expression at one end of the spatial scale and morphogenesis at the other. Adhesion was an essential mediating event in the evolution of metazoan life, and in present day complex animals, it plays a central role in development andmeta-morphosis, as well as in phenomena such as bone repair and regeneration.The developmental importance of adhesion has been par-ticularly well appreciated since the pioneering studies of Holftreter (1948a, b) on reassociation in vitro of embryonic tissues after dissociation. But because of the wide-ranging effects and multiple contexts of cell adhesion, it has been difficult until recently to relate its biochemical bases to the
