Description

A freeze fracture replica of a Sertoli cell junction from rat testis shows more than 50 rows of particles along the E-face. Image from Gilula, Fawcett and Aoki, Dev. Biol. 50: 142-168 (1976), reprinted with permission as Figure 72 from Chapter 3 (Junctional Specializations) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
