Cell Adhesion, Junctions, and the Extracellular Matrix — Tissue Organization and Cell–ECM Communication Explained | Chapter 11 of Karp’s Cell and Molecular Biology
Cell Adhesion, Junctions, and the Extracellular Matrix — Tissue Organization and Cell–ECM Communication Explained | Chapter 11 of Karp’s Cell and Molecular Biology Chapter 11 of Karp’s Cell and Molecular Biology: Concepts and Experiments explores how cells interact with each other and with their external environment through highly coordinated adhesion mechanisms, intercellular junctions, and extracellular matrix (ECM) structures. These systems govern tissue integrity, signal transmission, development, wound healing, and pathological states such as metastasis. This expanded summary deepens the concepts covered in the YouTube video and provides a comprehensive guide for students learning about tissue organization and cellular communication. To visually follow along with the structural elements discussed in this chapter, be sure to watch the full video above.
