Cell–cell junctions form the structural and functional backbone of multicellular tissues, coupling adhesive complexes with the actomyosin cytoskeleton to regulate barrier function, tissue remodelling ...
Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...
