Figure 1: The domains and junctions of epithelial cells. Adherens junctions (AJ)contain the most important cell–cell adhesion molecules, the cadherins,as well as Armadillo and many proteins that ...

The formation of tight junctions by parietal epithelial cells (PECs) creates a barrier that confines proteins to the Bowman's space, say the researchers of a new study. Disruption of these tight ...

Our discovery of basal spot junctions in epithelial tissues has given us new insights into how epithelial cells adhere to each other and how epithelial tissues grow to the right size and shape." ...
