a combination of extracellular molecules on other cell surfaces. Gap junctions (yellow) are clusters of channels that form tunnels of aqueous connectivity between cells.

These cells provide a dramatic example of the different kinds of cell-to-cell junctions, but the same junctions also exist in a wide range of other tissues. The side surfaces of epithelial cells ...

This “barrier” tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called “junctions”. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate exchanges across the space between cells.

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute have developed a new computational framework that allows simultaneous analysis of gene ...

These cells form sheet-like barriers through intercellular adhesive junctions, protein complexes that hold cells together and ...

In the study, Troyanovsky and members of his laboratory observed the formation of adherens junctions in cultured cells using specifically designed mutated cell lines that allowed them to detect ...

A group of scientists from the Tampere University in Finland has developed a III-V multi-junction solar cell which is claimed to have the potential for reaching a power conversion efficiency of ...

This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called junctions. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate exchanges across the space between cells. Researchers at the ...
