The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via an integrin, a heterodimeric adhesion receptor formed by the non-covalent association of particular alpha and beta subunits. The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix, via cell adhesion molecules that contributes to the elongation of the primary prostatic bud. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The attachment of a cell to the underlying substrate via adhesion molecules. The attachment of a cell to a surface, via cell adhesion molecules, contributing to the formation of a biofilm. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of attachment of a cell to another cell or to the extracellular matrix. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cell adhesion. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The attachment of a cell, either to another cell or to an underlying substrate such as the extracellular matrix that contributes to the process of retrograde extension. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell adhesion. The attachment of one cell to another cell via adhesion molecules. 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 a cell or organism to a substrate or other organism.
