Tight Junctions/Adherens Junctions: Basic Structure and Function [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2007
Adherens and tight junctions are intercellular junctions crucial for epithelial adhesion and barrier function in a wide variety of tissues and organisms. In stratifying epithelia, such as the epidermis, the role of adherens and tight junctions was considered less important owing to the abundance of desmosomes, mediating firm mechanical stability ...

Bakuchiol: From structural mimicry to systems‐level skin biology

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Convergent outcomes, divergent mechanisms: bakuchiol vs. retinol. Bakuchiol exhibits functional convergence with retinol in improving extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal differentiation and barrier function, while operating through distinct mechanisms.

Endodontic Treatment of Apical Periodontitis Mitigates Systemic Inflammation and Restores the Blood–Brain Barrier Integrity in an In Vitro Model

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim A growing body of research supports an association between periapical inflammation and an increased risk of various systemic effects. However, there is currently no scientific evidence demonstrating a causal relationship between this inflammation and changes in epithelial or endothelial permeability in patients with apical periodontitis ...

Rab7a is required to degrade select blood-brain barrier junctional proteins after ischemic stroke

Acta Neuropathologica Communications
The integrity of adherens and tight junctions is critical for blood-brain barrier (BBB) function in the healthy brain. Disassembly of cell junctions due to degradation of adherens and tight junction-associated proteins leads to acute BBB dysfunction ...

The T-type voltage-gated Ca2+ channel CaV3.1 involves in the disruption of respiratory epithelial barrier induced by Pasteurella multocida toxin

Virulence
Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) is an exotoxin produced by several members of the zoonotic respiratory pathogen P. multocida. The role of PMT in disrupting the mammalian respiratory barrier remains to be elucidated.

Beyond the Kidney and Lung: Cutaneous and Mucosal Clues to Human Hantavirus Disease

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Rodent exposure and aerosolized excreta can lead to hantavirus infection with systemic endothelial injury and capillary leak, resulting in thrombocytopenia and syndromes such as HPS/HCPS and HFRS/NE. Early dermatologic and mucosal findings, including flushing, conjunctival injection, petechiae/purpura, and mucosal bleeding, may provide important clues ...

MyD88‐Family Adaptors: Compartmentalised Signalling and Non‐Immune Functions

Immunology, EarlyView.
MyD88‐family adaptors coordinate receptor‐ and compartment‐specific innate immune signalling across plasma membrane and endosomal pathways. At the plasma membrane, TIRAP/MAL supports MyD88‐dependent signalling downstream of TLR2 and TLR4, whereas endosomal TLR7, TLR8 and TLR9 recruit MyD88 directly.

Actin filament association at adherens junctions

The Journal of Medical Investigation, 2017
The adherens junction (AJ) is a cadherin-based and actin filament associated cell-to-cell junction. AJs can contribute to tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis and their association with actin filaments is crucial for the functions. There are three types of AJs in terms of the mode of actin filament/AJ association.

Reconstruction of native cellular microanatomy in a novel bioengineered full thickness human nasal mucosal construct

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Bioengineered tissue constructs are vital technologies employed in in vitro testing of both fundamental biological principles and industrial screening practices. Current approaches to modelling the nasal mucosa in vitro are not representative and are associated with limitations that impact their reliability and predictive value.
