Adherens junctions (AJs) meet the dual challenge of maintaining tissue architecture and facilitating cell movement during tissue development and renewal. Across animal species, classic cadherins ...

Researchers report the first evidence in living organisms that adherens junctions, the 'glue' between cells, actively respond to mechanical cues by remodeling their position and intensity ...

At least three types of junctions are known: tight junctions, adherens junctions, and desmosomes. Previous studies have shown that adherens junctions and desmosomes play critical roles in ...

Superresolution imaging allowed the nanoscale architecture of the adherens junction to be observed, and distinct, evenly sized E-cadherin clusters were monitored both in the incipient and mature ...

The platelet in the steady state maintains the molecular integrity of the adherens junction by constitutively releasing a panoply of endothelial trophogens including brain-derived neurotrophic ...

This function relies to a large extent on the presence of "adherens" and "tight junctions," veritable protein locks linking neighboring cells and ensuring tissue tightness. Tight junctions ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9c78n7/adherens_junction) has announced the addition of the "Adherens ...

Adherent junctions contribute to bacterial virulence The membranes of our epithelial cells are equipped with adherens junctions, which contribute to maintaining the integrity of our tissues.

"Our work also shows the importance of force transmission to be regulated by the ability of epithelial tissues to interact with each other through adherens junctions with potential in ...

Prox1+ fibroblasts form part of the inner layer of the arachnoid mater. They are glued to arachnoid barrier cells via adherens junctions. Tracer injections show the arachnoid mater acts as the sole ...

The strong mechanical attachments – the "glue" -- that hold together the cells of the skin and the other epithelial tissues of the body are the adherens junctions. These junctions are ...
