Desmosome - Wikipedia
Desmosome is a intercellular junction in animal cell. A desmosome (/ ˈdɛzməˌsoʊm /; [1][2] "binding body"), also known as a macula adherens (plural: maculae adherentes) (Latin for adhering spot), is a cell structure specialized for cell-to- cell adhesion.

2024年3月4日 — Desmosomes are cell junctions that provide strong adhesive connections between cells. They help cells stick together. Desmosomes play a crucial role in maintaining tissue integrity and strength by connecting adjacent …
Structure, Function and Regulation of Desmosomes - PMC
Desmosomes are specialized and highly ordered membrane domains that mediate cell-cell contact and strong adhesion. Adhesive interactions at the desmosome are coupled to the intermediate filament cytoskeleton.

2011年7月26日 — Desmosomes are specialized adhesive protein complexes that localize to intercellular junctions and are responsible for maintaining the mechanical integrity of tissues. The term ‘desmosome’ was coined by Josef Schaffer in 1920 and has its origins in the Greek words for bond (desmo) and body (soma).
