Answer 2

In an immunological setting, CAM probably refers to 'Cell Adhesion Molecules' These are proteins expressed on a cell's surface in order to allow certain cells to selectively bind to certain tissue sites. For example, cytokine stimulation (due to, say, an infection) could cause endothelium to express ICAM 1, an adhesion molecule. Once this is done, any Leukocytes in the blood stream that express LFA-1 (the molecule ICAM-1 binds to) will be able to bind the endothelium and extravasate, allowing the leukocyte to enter the site of infection. The CAM's usually belong to four families- the integrins, the selectins, the Cadherins and the Ig superfamily. They have an enormous amount of applications- I believe Desmosomes use Cadherins to keep cells together- but I'm afraid I can't help you outside of their immunological functions. If you need more info on their roles, see Cell Adhesion Molecules in Plants and Animals (Seymour G., 2004).

Answer 3

CAM refers to Complementary and Alternative Medicine, which encompasses various medical and healthcare systems, practices, and products that are not considered part of conventional medicine. This includes practices such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, chiropractic care, and meditation, among others. CAM therapies are often used in combination with mainstream medical treatments.
