GO:0016337 cell-cell adhesion The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules. 67
GO:0007160 cell-matrix adhesion The binding of a cell to the extracellular matrix via adhesion molecules. 33
GO:0007156 homophilic cell adhesion The attachment of an adhesion molecule in one cell to an identical molecule in an adjacent cell. 31
GO:0034446 substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading The morphogenetic process that results in flattening of a cell as a consequence of its adhesion to a substrate. 22
GO:0090136 epithelial cell-cell adhesion The attachment of an epithelial cell to another epithelial cell via adhesion molecules. 13
GO:0031589 cell-substrate adhesion The attachment of a cell to the underlying substrate via adhesion molecules. 9
GO:0007157 heterophilic cell-cell adhesion The attachment of an adhesion molecule in one cell to a nonidentical adhesion molecule in an adjacent cell. 9
GO:0007158 neuron cell-cell adhesion The attachment of a neuron to another cell via adhesion molecules. 7
GO:0044331 cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin The attachment of one cell to another cell via a cadherin, transmembrane proteins having repeating extracellular calcium ion binding domains. 7
GO:0016339 calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules that require the presence of calcium for the interaction. 7
GO:0048041 focal adhesion assembly The aggregation and bonding together of a set of components to form a focal adhesion, a complex of intracellular signaling and structural proteins that provides a structural link between the internal actin cytoskeleton and the ECM, and also function as a locus of signal transduction activity. 6
GO:0070527 platelet aggregation The adhesion of one platelet to one or more other platelets via adhesion molecules. 6
GO:0001502 cartilage condensation The condensation of mesenchymal cells that have been committed to differentiate into chondrocytes. 6
GO:0007299 ovarian follicle cell-cell adhesion The attachment of a somatic follicle cell to another somatic follicle cell or to its substratum, the germline cells. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. 3
GO:0007159 leukocyte cell-cell adhesion The attachment of a leukocyte to another cell via adhesion molecules. 3
GO:0050901 leukocyte tethering or rolling Transient adhesive interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells lining blood vessels. Carbohydrates on circulating leukocytes bind selectins on the vessel wall causing the leukocytes to slow down and roll along the inner surface of the vessel wall. During this rolling motion, transitory bonds are formed and broken between selectins and their ligands. Typically the first step in cellular extravasation (the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system, towards the site of tissue damage or infection). 2
GO:0043709 cell adhesion involved in single-species biofilm formation The attachment of a cell to a surface, via cell adhesion molecules, during the formation of a biofilm composed of microorganisms of the same species. 1
GO:0033627 cell adhesion mediated by integrin The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via an integrin, a heterodimeric adhesion receptor formed by the non-covalent association of particular alpha and beta subunits. 1
GO:0097326 melanocyte adhesion The attachment of a melanocyte to another cell via adhesion molecules. 1
GO:0033631 cell-cell adhesion mediated by integrin The attachment of one cell to another cell via an integrin, a heterodimeric adhesion receptor formed by the non-covalent association of particular alpha and beta subunits. 1
GO:0036164 cell-abiotic substrate adhesion The attachment of a cell to an underlying abiotic (non-living) substrate via adhesion molecules. 1
GO:0034109 homotypic cell-cell adhesion The attachment of a cell to a second cell of the identical type via adhesion molecules. 1
GO:0071603 endothelial cell-cell adhesion The attachment of an endothelial cell to another endothelial cell via adhesion molecules. 1
