The Evolution of Cell Adhesion

Multicellular organisms clearly require mechanisms for intercellular communication and, perhaps even more basically, for intercellular cohesion. The most primitive sponges and coelenterates depend on cell adhesion for their organismal organization; so do insects, nematodes and vertebrates. What
