  • Cell-cell crosstalk via cadherins and connexins regulates cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and migration.
  • Abnormal expression of adhesion receptors is linked to tumor development.
  • Dysregulated intercellular communication contributes to melanoma progression.

Conclusions:

  • Intercellular communication is a key factor in melanoma pathogenesis.
  • Targeting cell-cell crosstalk and adhesion molecules may offer therapeutic strategies for melanoma.
