Desmosomal adhesion: structural basis, molecular mechanism and regulation (Review)

Desmosomes are adhesive intercellular junctions of epithelia and cardiac muscle. They have an essential function in maintaining the integrity of tissues, which is compromised in human genetic and autoimmune disease that targets desmosomal components. Recent evidence (1) suggests new roles for the fu...
