Intercellular Junctions Between Fibroblasts
Thin-section electron microscopy and freeze fracture were used in the analysis of the intercellular junctions between fibroblasts in connective tissues of the eye of Macaca mulatto, M. fascicularis, and M. arctoides. Fibroblasts located in the subconjunctival loose connective tissue, anterior sclera, scleral spur, iris stroma, ciliary body stroma, and posterior choroid were joined by three kind...
متن کاملIntercellular Junctions: Actin the PARt
Several distinct polarity complexes participate in the assembly of intercellular junctions. Two studies showing that some of the same polarity complexes are essential regulators of continued junctional integrity lead to a new appreciation of the relationships between assembly and maintenance of intercellular junctions and highlight unappreciated roles for endocytosis in these processes.
متن کاملLow-resistance Junctions in Epithelial Outgrowths from Normal and Cancerous Epidermis in Vitro
INTRODUCTION (Gilula et al ., 1972) . Studies of cancer cells, where coupling might be expected to be absent or diminished when compared with normal cells, have given conflicting results . Both normal and transformed fibroblasts have been found to be coupled in vitro (Potter et al ., 1966; Furshpan and Potter, 1968 ; Borek et al ., 1969) and it might be concluded that this aspect of cell functi...
متن کاملIntercellular junctions in the ciliary epithelium.
The fine structure of the intercellular junctions in the ciliary epithelium of rhesus monkeys and rabbits was studied with conventional electron microscopy of thin-sectioned specimens and the freeze-fracturing technique. In the rhesus monkey, a zonula occludens, zonula adhaerens, gap junctions, and desmosomes interconnect the nonpigmented cells, whereas gap junctions, puncta adhaerentia, and de...
متن کاملForce-driven growth of intercellular junctions.
Mechanical force regulates the formation and growth of cell-cell junctions. Cadherin is a prominent homotypic cell adhesion molecule that plays a crucial role in establishment of intercellular adhesion. It is known that the transmitted force through the cadherin-mediated junctions directly correlates with the growth and enlargement of the junctions. In this paper, we propose a physical model fo...
