Alpha Knot Anatomy: Unlocking The Guardians Of Cell Adhesion
Alpha knot anatomy unveils the intricate architecture and components of alpha knots, the guardians of cell adhesion. These structures, composed of catenins and desmosomes, facilitate cell-cell cohesion. Catenins, cadherins, and desmosomes play key roles in alpha knot function, while intercellular adhesion and plakins contribute to their overall function. Alpha knots extend beyond adhesion, influencing tissue…
