eLife, 2017 Detachment of newborn neurons from the neuroepithelium is required for correct neuronal architecture and functional circuitry. This process, also known as delamination, involves adherens-junction disassembly and acto-myosin-mediated abscission, during ...

Sensing Actin Dynamics through Adherens Junctions
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.

Signaling from the Adherens Junction [PDF]
, 2012 The cadherin/catenin complex organizes to form a structural Velcro that joins the cytoskeletal networks of adjacent cells. Functional loss of this complex arrests the development of normal tissue organization, and years of research have gone into teasing out how the physical structure of adhesions conveys information to the cell interior. Evidence that

Diverse cell junctions with unique molecular composition in tissues of a sponge (Porifera)
EvoDevo, 2019 The integrity and organization of animal tissues depend upon specialized protein complexes that mediate adhesion between cells with each other (cadherin-based adherens junctions), and with the extracellular matrix (integrin-based focal adhesions ...

Untersuchungen zur Lokalisation und Funktion von Armadillo-Proteinen in Adherens junctions [PDF]
, 2020 Adherens junctions sind Zellkontakte, welche den Zellzusammenhalt ermöglichen. Der Aufbau besteht aus transmembranären Proteinen der Cadherin-Familie und intrazellulären Proteinen der p120-Catenine. Die Proteine der p120-Catenine sind multifunktional mit

Molecular components of the adherens junction
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2008 Adherens junctions serve to couple individual cells into various arrangements required for tissue structure and function. The central structural components of adherens junctions are transmembrane adhesion receptors, and their associated actin-binding/regulatory proteins.

Calcium-induced assembly of adherens junctions in keratinocytes. [PDF]
, 1987 Extracellular calcium concentration has been shown to control the stratification of cultured keratinocytes, presumably by regulation of formation of desmosomes. Previous studies have shown that keratinocytes cultured in medium containing 0.1 mM Ca++ form

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We present a tissue‐stimulator platform for seamless electrode integration with pancreatic tissue, applying uniform electrical stimulation through optimized design with biohybrid 3D printing. Advantageous effects of electrical stimulation on β‐cell function were observed, including enhanced calcium signaling, islet morphology, and maturation.

Adherens Junction: Molecular Architecture and Regulation [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2009 The adherens junction (AJ) is an element of the cell-cell junction in which cadherin receptors bridge the neighboring plasma membranes via their homophilic interactions. Cadherins associate with cytoplasmic proteins, called catenins, which in turn bind to cytoskeletal components, such as actin filaments and microtubules.
