| The diagnosis was confirmed by the ultrastructural demonstration of large desmosomes and long microvilli at the cell surface. |
|
| 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. |
|
| These spindle cells formed small desmosomes and produced patchy basement membrane. |
|
| Hence the plug is a specialized cytoplasmic structure, unlike desmosomes, gap junctions, or septate junctions, which are formed from membrane appositions. |
|
| Belt desmosomes are the constituent character of the Epitheliazoa, the next higher taxon above the Porifera within the Metazoa, comprising the taxa Placozoa and Eumetazoa. |
