Diversity of Intercellular Communication Modes: A Cancer Biology Perspective

Cells
From the moment a cell is on the path to malignant transformation, its interaction with other cells from the microenvironment becomes altered. The flow of molecular information is at the heart of the cellular and systemic fate in tumors, and various ...

The Biology of the Desmosome-Like Junction

, 2011
Mammalian spermatogenesis, a complex process that involves the movement of developing germ cells across the seminiferous epithelium, entails extensive restructuring of Sertoli-Sertoli and Sertoli-germ cell junctions.

A study of desmosome formation in kidney epithelial cells

, 1988
Desmosomes are intercellular junctions mediating cell-cell adhesion. When epithelial cells are cultured in medium of low calcium concentration (< 0.05mM, LCM) desmosomes do not form but do so when the external calcium concentration is raised above 0.1

The desmosome comes into focus

Journal of Cell Biology
The desmosome is a cell–cell adhesive junction that provides integrity and mechanical resistance to tissues through its attachment to the intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Defects in desmosomes cause diseases impacting the heart, epidermis, and other epithelia.

A Paradigm Shift: Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy Is an Inflammatory Disease

Cells
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a genetic myocardial disorder marked by progressive cardiomyocyte loss, fibro-fatty replacement, ventricular arrhythmias, and risk of sudden cardiac death.

Flotillins as novel regulators of desmosome dynamics

, 2017
Multicellular organisms require that cells adhere to each other. This cell-cell adhesion is indispensable for the formation and the integrity of epithelial structures, tissues and organs.

Half desmosome internalisation is cPKC and actin dependent.

, 2014
(A) MDCK cells cultured in NCM had desmosomes at cell-cell contacts as indicated by DP staining. (B) Internalised rings of DP were present in cells treated for 60 minutes with LCM (arrows).

Meeting report - Alpine desmosome disease meeting 2024: advances and emerging topics in desmosomes and related diseases.

Desmosomes are adhesive cell contacts abundant in tissues exposed to mechanical strain, such as the stratified and simple epithelia of the epidermis and mucous membranes, as well as the myocardium.
