Tight junctions (blue dots) between cells are connected areas of the plasma membrane that stitch cells together. Adherens junctions (red dots) join the actin filaments of neighboring cells together.
The lateral surfaces of epithelial cells also contain several other types of specialized junctions. Tight junctions form a seal between cells that is so strong that not even ions can pass across it.
The cover of Cell-Cell Junctions features a triple-color fluorescence ... bundles of intermediate filaments of the keratin type (green). The chromatin of the nuclei of these cells is stained ...
A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors ... Near the junction of the two layers, the electrons on one side of the junction (n-type layer) move into the holes on the other side of the ...
Of course, we don’t have infinite types of semiconductor materials to use to make a cell that good, but it’s indicative of the gains that can be made. A schematic for a multi-junction solar ...
Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia*) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes.
However, how mechanical signals regulate naïve pluripotency is not well understood. Mechanical signals are relayed in part through cellular adhesions that anchor cells to each other and to their ...
An international team led by the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden has visualized the structure and function of primary cilia ...
A Chinese-German research group developed the cell ... on an n-type silicon wafer to form a high-quality passivating contact scheme. The GO:Nafion layer simultaneously creates a p–n junction ...
This valuable study provides solid support for the participation of the BMP-binding domain of MuSK, a tyrosine kinase mostly known for its role at the neuromuscular junction ... genes involved in ...
