  text: Recent advances in microscopy techniques and biophysical measurements have
    provided novel insight into the molecular, cellular and biophysical basis of cell
    adhesion. However, comparably little is known about a core element of cell–cell
    adhesion—the energy of adhesion at the cell–cell contact. In this review, we discuss
    approaches to understand the nature and regulation of adhesion energy, and propose
    strategies to determine adhesion energy between cells in vitro and in vivo.
