cell junction — Definition
hücre bağlantısı / cell junction
Cell connections are specialized protein complexes that provide structural and functional connections between neighboring cells or a cell and non-cellular matrix. These structures protect the mechanical integrity of the tissues, regulates intercellular communication (e.g., gap passes ion and small molecular pass through crowns), and support cell polarity. Clinically, disruption of cell connections is associated with cancer metastasis, hereditary skin diseases (eg epidermolizis butlloza) and cardiac arrhythmias.
