Further analysis using advanced electron microscopy revealed that a specific subset of IP3 receptors, particularly those located near desmosomes, plays a key role in CaRE. Desmosomes are cell adhesion ...

A research team from Kyushu University in Japan has recently discovered a calcium-based mechanism that plays a key role in ...

Further analysis using advanced electron microscopy revealed that a specific subset of IP3 receptors, particularly those located near desmosomes, plays a key role in CaRE. Desmosomes are cell ...

Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens junctions, tight junctions and desmosomes, whereas cells can interact with extracellular matrix molecules through focal adhesions. Talin controls ...

Adherens junctions (red dots) join the actin filaments of neighboring cells together. Desmosomes are even stronger connections that join the intermediate filaments of neighboring cells.

Further analysis using advanced electron microscopy revealed that a specific subset of IP3 receptors, particularly those located near desmosomes, plays a key role in CaRE. Desmosomes are cell ...

Pemphigus is an autoimmune bullous disease, in which autoantibodies react with the cell–cell adhesion structures, desmosomes, causing blisters and erosions on the oral mucosa and skin.

With mutated desmosomes, normal levels of myocardial wall stress lead to cellular disruption and (fibro-fatty) repair, ending in familial ARVC. But we propose that a similar phenotype may develop when ...

Scientists discovered that many people with ARVC have a genetic mutation in special proteins called desmosomes, which connect ...

Mominah Ramzen discusses the science behind skincare and how to make sure you have healthy, glowing skin at university ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a single treatment with Er laser will lead to long-term remission from Hailey-Hailey ...

Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune blistering disease involving the skin and mucous epithelia. It is clinically characterized by flaccid blisters and erosions (Figure 1) and, if left untreated, could ...
