Adherens junctions remain dynamic [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2010 One of the four principal categories of cell-cell junctions that hold together and shape distinct tissues and organs in vertebrates, adherens junctions (AJs) form cell-cell contacts that connect transmembrane proteins with cytoskeletal actin filaments to

Adherens Junctions: Guardians of Cortical Development
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Apical radial glia comprise the pseudostratified neuroepithelium lining the embryonic lateral ventricles and give rise to the extensive repertoire of pyramidal neuronal subtypes of the neocortex.

Sensing Actin Dynamics through Adherens Junctions [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: We study punctate adherens junctions (pAJs) to determine how short-lived cadherin clusters and relatively stable actin bundles interact despite differences in dynamics.

Endothelial Adherens Junctions [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 2000 The principle of the molecular organization of adherens junctions follows a uniform pattern, which is found in epithelial, muscular, neuroneal as well as in endothelial cells and is highly conserved among species. Transmembrane molecules of the cadherin family link to catenins, which anchor the adhesion plaque to the cytoskeleton.

The multifarious regulation of the apical junctional complex [PDF]
Open Biology, 2020 Epithelial cells form highly organized polarized sheets with characteristic cell morphologies and tissue architecture. Cell–cell adhesion and intercellular communication are prerequisites of such cohesive sheets of cells, and cell connectivity is ...

Increased Expression of Adherens Junction Components in Mouse Liver following Bile Duct Ligation
Biomolecules, 2019 Adherens junctions, consisting of cadherins and catenins, are a group of cell-to-cell junctions that mediate mechanistic linkage between neighboring cells. By doing so, adherens junctions ensure direct intercellular contact and play an indispensable role

A cell motility screen reveals role for MARCKS-related protein in adherens junction formation and tumorigenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Invasion through the extracellular matrix (ECM) is important for wound healing, immunological responses and metastasis. We established an invasion-based cell motility screen using Boyden chambers overlaid with Matrigel to select for pro-invasive genes ...

Transcriptome analysis of adherens junction pathway-related genes after peripheral nerve injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2018 The neural regeneration process is driven by a wide range of molecules and pathways. Adherens junctions are critical cellular junctions for the integrity of peripheral nerves.

Effects of acute and chronic disease on cell junctions in mouse liver
EXCLI Journal : Experimental and Clinical Sciences, 2023 Cell junctions, including anchoring, occluding and communicating junctions, play an indispensable role in tissue architecture and homeostasis. Consequently, malfunctioning of cell junctions is linked with a wide range of disorders, including in liver ...
