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.

To preserve proper tissue architecture, adhesive molecules help maintain contact between nearby cells and structures, and tiny tunnel-like junctions allow the passage of ions and small molecules ...

“Essentially these cells are meant to be used as the bottom junction in multi-junction ... the MBE fabrication cost,” Isoaho further explained. “Moreover, we want to note that significant ...
