Cell Adhesion in Anchoring Junctions
Description
Anchoring junctions are multiprotein complexes that help cells connect to other cells and to the extracellular matrix. They sit on the lateral and basal surfaces of cells. These junctions create strong, flexible links that help maintain tissue stability and integrity.
Focal adhesions often form w...

Las células se conectan con la MEC y otras células a través de diferentes complejos de adhesión, denominados colectivamente uniones de anclaje.
En las células epiteliales, las adherencias focales y los hemidesmosomas conectan los filamentos de actina y los filamentos intermedios a una forma especializada de MEC llamada lámina basal.
