Stratified squamous epithelium from the esophagus of the rat. Keratin filaments (tonofilaments, arrows) are sparse, and desmosomes are few (see inset), in the basal cell layer of this tissue. Figures...

Transmission electron micrograph of a tight junction (zonula occludens)between two cells in a section of tissue from a rat thyroid. Image made available by James D. Jamieson and the Department of Cel...

Transmission electron micrograph of two frog epithelial cell cells showing the tight junction complex running horizontally in this image. Additional reference: Farquhar, M.G. and G.E. Palade. 1965. ...

This photoactivation localization microscopy (PALM) image of tdEos-paxillin (green) and PsCFP20-zyxin (red) demonstrates that these two focal adhesion proteins are have very little over-lap when visua...

Photoactivation localization microscopy image (PALM) of a human foreskin fibroblast expressing Dronpa-actin (green) and tdEos-paxillin (red). Paxillin assembles in fibrillar-like adhesions that run p...

Cell junctions formed between adjacent epidermal cells in Fundulus heteroclitus scales. Desmosomes line the membranes of two epidermal cells. A vast network of intermediate filaments and microfilament...

A single frame from a time-lapse animation of FlAsH-labeled MDCK cells expressing Cx43-4C309/337 (green) showing their rearrangement and fate during and after mitosis. In the time-lapse series, which...

A freeze fracture replica of a Sertoli cell junction from rat testis shows more than 50 rows of particles along the E-face. Image from Gilula, Fawcett and Aoki, Dev. Biol. 50: 142-168 (1976), reprint...

Freeze-fracture images of continuous junctions along epithelial cells from the midgut of Rhodnius prolixus. Figures 78 (upper) and 79 (lower) by Nancy Lane, from Chapter 3 (Junctional Specializations...

Figures 81 (upper) and 82 (lower) from Chapter 3 (Junctional Specializations) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Septate junctions (upper, rectum; lower, testis) in the cockroach Periplane...
