Diverse cell junctions with unique molecular composition in tissues of a sponge (Porifera)

Abstract The integrity and organization of animal tissues depend upon specialized protein complexes that mediate adhesion between cells with each other (cadherin-based adherens junctions), and with the extracellular matrix (integrin-based focal adhesions). Reconstructing how and when these cell junc...
