Genetic Animal Models for Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy has been clinically defined since the 1980s and causes right or biventricular cardiomyopathy associated with ventricular arrhythmia.

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.

Intermediate filament–membrane attachments function synergistically with actin-dependent contacts to regulate intercellular adhesive strength [PDF]
, 2002 By tethering intermediate filaments (IFs) to sites of intercellular adhesion, desmosomes facilitate formation of a supercellular scaffold that imparts mechanical strength to a tissue.

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.

Desmoglein 2 is less important than desmoglein 3 for keratinocyte cohesion. [PDF]
, 2013 Desmosomes provide intercellular adhesive strength required for integrity of epithelial and some non-epithelial tissues. Within the epidermis, the cadherin-type adhesion molecules desmoglein (Dsg) 1-4 and desmocollin (Dsc) 1-3 build the adhesive core of ...

Histopathological Features and Protein Markers of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a heritable heart muscle disease characterized by syncope, palpitations, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) especially in young individuals.

Cells, 2018 Cell-cell junctions are critical structures in a number of tissues for mechanically coupling cells together, cell-to-cell signaling, and establishing a barrier. In many tissues, desmosomes are an important component of cell-cell junctions.

New insights into desmosome regulation and pemphigus blistering as a desmosome-remodeling disease
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2013 Desmosomes in keratinocytes are the most important intercellular adhering junctions that provide structural strength for the epidermis. These junctions are connected directly with desmosomal cadherin proteins.

Dsg3 epitope-specific signalling in pemphigus
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 IntroductionPemphigus is an autoantibody driven disease that impairs the barrier function of the skin and mucosa by disrupting desmosomes and thereby impeding cellular cohesion. It is known that the different clinical phenotypes of pemphigus vulgaris (PV)

Expression and Significance of Cadherins and Its Subtypes in Development and Progression of Oral Cancers: A Review [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015 Cadherins are a family of transmembranous glycoproteins responsible for calcium-dependent intercellular adhesion. Absence or loss of function of E-cadherin leads to the disappearance of epithelial characteristics of the cells and generates higher ...
