Dermatology Research and Practice, 2010 The structure, function, and regulation of desmosomal adhesion in vivo are discussed. Most desmosomes in tissues exhibit calcium-independent adhesion, which is strongly adhesive or “hyperadhesive”. This is fundamental to tissue strength.

A Novel Model System to Identify Cellular and Molecular Defects Underlying Rare Genetic Disorders. [PDF]
Exp DermatolABSTRACT Ankyloblepharon‐ectodermal defects‐cleft lip/palate (AEC) is a disorder caused by autosomal‐dominant mutations in the TP63 gene. AEC is characterised by the presence of severe and painful skin erosions that can take years to heal. Current treatment options for these devastating lesions are limited, highlighting the need for new therapeutic ...

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2009 Desmosomes are intercellular junctions that tether intermediate filaments to the plasma membrane. Desmogleins and desmocollins, members of the cadherin superfamily, mediate adhesion at desmosomes. Cytoplasmic components of the desmosome associate with the desmosomal cadherin tails through a series of protein interactions, which serve to recruit ...

Pervanadate stabilizes desmosomes [PDF]
Cell Adhesion & Migration, 2008 Desmosomes are intercellular junctions responsible for strong cell-cell adhesion in epithelia and cardiac muscle. Numerous studies have shown that the other major type of epithelial cell adhesion, the adherens junction, is destabilized by src-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of two of its principal components, E-cadherin and beta-catenin.

Biology, 2020 Tumor resistance to therapy is associated with the 3D organization and peculiarities of the tumor microenvironment, of which intercellular adhesion is a key participant. In this work, the abundance of contact proteins was compared in SKOV-3 and SKOV-3.ip

Desmosomes as Signaling Hubs in the Regulation of Cell Behavior
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Desmosomes are intercellular junctions, which preserve tissue integrity during homeostatic and stress conditions. These functions rely on their unique structural properties, which enable them to respond to context-dependent signals and transmit them to ...

Human Meningiomas Reveal No Evidence of Neuroendocrine Differentiation. [PDF]
APMISABSTRACT Meningiomas are heterogeneous tumors and studies suggest that meningiomas might be part of MEN1 syndrome. The tumors express somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) comparable to that seen in neuroendocrine neoplasms. We aimed to explore neuroendocrine differentiation in meningiomas by investigating the following neuroendocrine markers: neural cell ...

Implications of normal and disordered remodeling dynamics of corneodesmosomes in stratum corneum
Dermatologica Sinica, 2015 Desmosomes and corneodesmosomes are the most important adhering junctions, providing strength for the epidermal sheet structure made of living keratinocytes and enucleated stratum corneum corneocytes, respectively.
