Tight junctions (blue dots) between cells are connected areas of the plasma membrane that stitch cells together. Adherens junctions (red dots) join the actin filaments of neighboring cells together.

Cells hold on to each other through junctions that serve to connect the neighboring cells. At least three types of junctions are known: tight junctions, adherens junctions, and desmosomes.

These physical signals are determined by the strength of intercellular contacts, the E-cadherin junctions. Moreover, they showed that cells are extruded either apically or basally into the tissue ...
