The canonical Wnt cascade has emerged as a critical regulator of stem cells. In many
tissues, activation of Wnt signalling has also been associated with cancer. This has raised …

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to characterize the clinicopathologic features of
follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, a very uncommon neoplasm. METHODS The 17 cases were …

Synaptophysin is an integral membrane glycoprotein (Mr 38,000) that occurs in presynaptic
vesicles of neurons and in similar vesicles of the adrenal medulla. By using a monoclonal …

We have established, by means of a monoclonal antibody and a cDNA clone, that a
desmosomal polypeptide of M, 83,000 also occurs at the plaques of other types of adhering …

Among sarcomeric muscles the cardiac muscle cells are unique by, inter alia, a systemic
and extended cell–cell contact structure, the intercalated disk (ID), comprising frequent and …

Desmosomes are prominent adhesion sites that are tightly associated with the cytoplasmic
intermediate filament cytoskeleton providing mechanical stability in epithelia and also in …

The desmosomal plaque protein desmoplakin (DP), located at the juncture between the
intermediate filament (IF) network and the cytoplasmic tails of the transmembrane …

Desmoplakins (DPs) I and II are two major related proteins located in the innermost portion
of the desmosomal plaque where it is thought they may play a role in attaching intermediate …

The organization of metazoa is based on the formation of tissues and on tissue-typical
functions and these in turn are based on cell–cell connecting structures. In vertebrates, four …

Using a monoclonal antibody we have identified and cDNA-cloned a novel type of protein
localized, by light and electron microscopy, to the plaque associated with the cytoplasmic …
