Cell adhesion is the process by which cells ... Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens junctions, tight junctions and desmosomes, whereas cells can interact with extracellular matrix ...

Scientists at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have demonstrated a triple-junction solar cell with a perovskite-perovskite-silicon subcell configuration. They said the ...

Adjacent cells freely exchange small molecules and ions with each other through channels made from proteins called connexins. Dysfunction in this important type of intercellular communication has ...

These junctions act as physical barriers, preventing solutes and water from freely passing through the paracellular space between epithelial or endothelial cell sheets. Tight junctions are crucial ...
