Tight Junction Proteins and Signaling Pathways in Cancer and Inflammation: A Functional Crosstalk
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 The ability of epithelial cells to organize through cell–cell adhesion into a functioning epithelium serves the purpose of a tight epithelial protective barrier. Contacts between adjacent cells are made up of tight junctions (TJ), adherens junctions (AJ),

Quercetin improves and protects Calu-3 airway epithelial barrier function
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Introduction: In light of the impact of airway barrier leaks in COVID-19 and the significance of vitamin D in COVID-19 outcomes, including airway barrier protection, we investigated whether the very common dietary flavonoid quercetin could also be ...

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2015 Claudins are tight-junction membrane proteins that function as both pores and barriers in the paracellular pathway in epithelial cells. In the kidney, claudins determine the permeability and selectivity of different nephron segments along the renal tubule. In the proximal tubule, claudins have a role in the bulk reabsorption of salt and water.

The Src-Family Kinases SRC and BLK Contribute to the CLDN6-Adhesion Signaling
Cells, 2023 Cell adhesion molecules, including integrins, cadherins, and claudins (CLDNs), are known to activate Src-family kinases (SFKs) that organize a variety of physiological and pathological processes; however, the underlying molecular basis remains unclear ...

Intestinal fluid absorption in anadromous salmonids: importance of tight junctions and aquaporins
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 The anadromous salmonid life cycle includes both fresh water (FW) and seawater (SW) stages. The parr-smolt transformation (smoltification) pre–adapt the fish to SW while still in FW.

Cells, 2020 The homologs EpCAM and TROP2, which both interact with claudin-1 and claudin-7, are frequently coexpressed in epithelia including skin. Intestine uniquely expresses high levels of EpCAM but not TROP2.

Transport relaxation time and length scales in turbulent suspensions [PDF]
, 2010 We show that in a turbulent flow transporting suspended sediment, the unsaturated sediment flux $q(x,t)$ can be described by a first-order relaxation equation.
