Definition of desmosome in English: desmosomenounˈdɛzməsəʊmˈdezməˌsōm Biology A structure by which two adjacent cells are attached, formed from protein plaques in the cell membranes linked by filaments. Example sentencesExamples - Hence the plug is a specialized cytoplasmic structure, unlike desmosomes, gap junctions, or septate junctions, which are formed from membrane appositions.
- Specialized structures were present, including microvilli of varying length, desmosomes, and cell membrane interdigitations.
- Vimentin fibers terminate at the nuclear membrane and at desmosomes, or adhesion plaques, on the plasma membrane.
- The diagnosis was confirmed by the ultrastructural demonstration of large desmosomes and long microvilli at the cell surface.
- These spindle cells formed small desmosomes and produced patchy basement membrane.
Derivatives adjective Biology Electron microscopic examination performed from the paraffin-embedded tissue revealed desmosomal structures and thin, elongated, wavy, branching microvilli characteristic of mesothelial cells. Example sentencesExamples - Ultrastructural examination of the paraffin-embedded tissue demonstrated long and thin interdigitating cytoplasmic processes and desmosomal cell junctions between adjacent cell processes.
- They connect with the developing keratinocytes through intercellular connections, or desmosomal junctions.
- Focal neuroendocrine membrane-bound dense-core granules surrounded by a slender halo and desmosomal intercellular junctions were demonstrated.
- The epidermal cells in the upper layers are connected to each other through extensive desmosomal junctions.
