What is Overview of Cell Junction Types about?
Cell junctions connect cells to other cells or the extracellular matrix. There are three main types - occluding junctions which seal cells together, anchoring junctions which attach cells for mechanical support, and communicating junctions which allow cell-cell communication. Specific junctions include tight junctions, adherens junctions, desmosomes, focal adhesions, hemidesmosomes, and gap junctions. Together, cell junctions and the extracellular matrix allow cells to be organized into tissues.
