Definition of desmosome in English:

desmosome

nounˈdɛzməsəʊmˈdezməˌsōm

Biology

A structure by which two adjacent cells are attached, formed from protein plaques in the cell membranes linked by filaments.
〔生〕桥粒
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

desmosomal

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.

Origin

1930s: from Greek desmos 'bond, chain' + -some³.
