To describe the ligament-like attachment, he prefixed desmo- to the root, coining a term that emphasized a strong tissue connection.

He swapped the stock cam for a desmo setup before the endurance race.

Under the microscope, researchers observed a desmosome anchoring adjacent epithelial cells together, maintaining tissue integrity.

Epithelial cells rely on desmosomes to maintain strong adhesion under mechanical stress.

Researchers measured elevated levels of desmosines in the patients' lung tissue, suggesting increased elastin degradation.

The desmosomic proteins provide mechanical strength to epithelial tissues under stress.

Marine biologists studied the tooth wear patterns of desmostylians to understand their diet.

Researchers measured desmosterol levels in brain tissue to investigate its role in cholesterol metabolism.

Researchers found that desmosterols accumulate in the liver tissue of affected patients.

Researchers studying desmosterolosis have identified mutations that impair the final step of cholesterol biosynthesis.
