Cell barrier:A cell barrier is a type of cell junction that helps to keep cells together and prevent them from moving around too much. Cell barriers are made up of proteins that are found in the cell membrane, and they help to hold the cells together by forming a type of scaffold. Cell barriers also help to regulate the movement of materials in and out of cells, and they can be found in all types of tissues.
