Actin filament association at adherens junctions
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.

We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able

EHD4 and ASAP2 are critical negative regulators of the claudin‐5‐based endothelial barrier
Cell‐surface CLDN‐5 protein levels can be evaluated using a probe that can bind to the extracellular domains of CLDN‐5. A probe derived from Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin allows us to isolate cells with high CLDN‐5 protein levels from a knockout cell library.

‘Outside‐in’ expression of Fz6 across multiple layers of mouse embryo epidermis is connected to Fz6 asymmetry in the basal layer plane. Fz6 loss‐of‐function correlated with failure to: coordinate axial bias of cell long axis orientation across epidermal layers, switch axial cell long axis orientation during suprabasal layer development and establish ...

ABSTRACT Aim This retrospective study investigates the interplay between epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and immune response within the tumor microenvironment (TME) of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methodology Immunohistochemistry was conducted on OSCC specimens to evaluate the expression of podoplanin (PDP), E‐cadherin (CDH1), vimentin (

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Adherens Junctions and Cadherins in Drosophila Development
Drosophila represents a paradigm for the analysis of the cellular, molecular and genetic mechanisms of development and is an ideal model system to study the contribution of Adherens Junctions (AJs) and their major components, cadherins, to morphogenesis.

Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.

Vascular leakage and its associated phenomena vasodilation and endothelial activation are pathophysiological features of various diseases. Multiple drug candidates targeting these phenomena are in development, necessitating translational models to demonstrate proof‐of‐pharmacology and proof‐of‐mechanism in early‐phase clinical trials.
