Adhesion junction is crucial for the stability of the epithelial lateral membrane and the maintenance of cell polarity. E-cadherin is an essential cell-cell adhesion protein, with the canonical E ...

The gap junction subunits Cx26 and Cx43 are expressed in the developing rat neocortex. Whereas Cx26 is evenly distributed from the ventricular zone through the intermediate zone to the cortical ...

Disrupted function of another kind of adhesion junction has, indeed, been implicated in late-stage cancers. But desmosome disturbances may occur earlier on, during tumors' initial development.

It’s possible, says Kriegstein, that the adhesion function is allowing the gap junction to also support signaling through the gap junction channel between the neural stem cell and its daughter neuron.
