The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules. The attachment of a parasite adhesion molecule to a nonidentical adhesion molecule on the microvasculature of a host cell, thereby adhering the parasite to the host cell. The aggregation or adhesion of compatible mating types via complementary cell-cell interactions prior to the formation of irreversible cellular contacts during conjugation. The attachment of one cell to another cell via protein-carbohydrate (flocculin-mannan) interaction, occurring as a part of the mannose-sensitive, nonsexual aggregation of cells. The binding of parasite infected erythrocytes to uninfected erythrocytes. The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules. The attachment of an adhesion molecule in one cell to a nonidentical adhesion molecule in an adjacent cell.
