L1CAM (and other sticky things)

In the last millennium I worked on L1 (now L1cam), N-cadherin and N-CAM for a long time. PubMed says I published 56 papers on L1. Probably pretty close. But we don't work on adhesion much anymore; it was squeezed out of NIH by cooler things like ephrins, semaphorin, slit, NoGo, neuropilin, etc. (figure from Yukiko Nakamura's beautiful paper on different L1cd mutants)
