Tight junctions (blue dots) between cells are connected areas of the plasma membrane that stitch cells together. Adherens junctions (red dots) join the actin filaments of neighboring cells together.

To preserve proper tissue architecture, adhesive molecules help maintain contact between nearby cells and structures, and tiny tunnel-like junctions allow the passage of ions and small molecules ...

The cover of Cell-Cell Junctions features a triple-color fluorescence micrograph showing a monolayer cell culture of human keratinocytes that are connected to each other by cell-to-cell bridges ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors ... of positively charged holes (which are vacancies due to the lack of valence electrons). Near the junction of the two layers, the electrons on ...

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...

More than half of your body is not human, say scientists. Human cells make up only 43% of the body's total cell count. The rest are microscopic colonists. Understanding this hidden half of ...
