But it's only one mechanism. The next question is whether cells have only this one mechanism for adherens junction formation. Our preliminary data suggests that there are several other strategies ...

Through comparative transcriptome analysis, Professor Kai-Chien Yang's group identified the adherens junction protein ...

At each adherens junction, the calcium-dependent cell-adhesion molecule E-cadherin is directly linked to the actin cytoskeleton through α- and β-catenin. Other cytoskeletal proteins, including ...
