Abstract
Hyper-adhesion is a unique, strongly adhesive form of desmosomal adhesion that functions to maintain tissue integrity. In this short review, we define hyper-adhesion, summarise the evidence for it in culture and in vivo, discuss its role in development, wound healing, and skin disease, and speculate about its molecular and cellular basis.

Cell Communication and Adhesion is an international Open Access journal which provides a central forum for research on mechanisms underlying cellular signalling and adhesion. The journal provides a single source of information concerning all forms of cellular communication, cell junctions, adhesion molecules and families of receptors from diverse biological systems.
The journal welcomes submission of original research articles, reviews, short communications and conference reports.
