Therapeutic Potential of CLDN Family Proteins in Ovarian Cancer: Emerging Biomarkers and Targets

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Claudins (CLDNs), key components of tight junctions, are dysregulated in various cancers. However, the roles and therapeutic potential of specific CLDN family members-particularly CLDN6, CLDN9, and CLDN10-in ovarian cancer (

Gut Microbiota‐Non‐Coding RNA Axis in Immune Modulation and Disease: From Mechanisms to Clinical Translation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immune homeostasis is indispensable for preserving organismal integrity, orchestrated through complex molecular networks encompassing immune cell dynamics, microbial cues, and epigenetic regulation. Among these, the gut microbiota‐non‐coding RNA (ncRNA) axis has recently garnered substantial attention as a multifaceted modulator of host ...

VE-cadherin and claudin-5: it takes two to tango [PDF]

, 2008
Endothelial barrier function requires the adhesive activity of VE-cadherin and claudin-5, which are key components of adherens and tight endothelial junctions, respectively.

From the Gut to the Brain: Microplastic‐Associated Neurovascular Dysfunction and Implications for Stroke Risk

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic oral exposure to microplastics may disrupt gut microbiota homeostasis and intestinal barrier integrity, potentially engaging the gut–brain axis and systemic inflammatory responses. These alterations may be associated with impaired blood–brain barrier function, cerebral microvascular dysfunction, and enhanced endothelial inflammation, pro ...

Tight junctions at the blood brain barrier: physiological architecture and disease-associated dysregulation. [PDF]

, 2012
International audienceABSTRACT: The Blood--brain barrier (BBB), present at the level of the endothelium of cerebral blood vessels, selectively restricts the blood-to-brain paracellular diffusion of compounds; it is mandatory for cerebral homeostasis and ...

Metal‐Supramolecular Drug Delivery System Empowered Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels‐Bridged Intracranial‐Peripheral Dual Immune Modulation for Reversing Glioblastoma Immune Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel metal‐supramolecular nanoplatform (FLM@VC) enables efficient brain delivery via meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs), bypassing the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) through subcutaneous administration. It reprograms tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) and remodels the MLVs to promote DC trafficking and CD8+ T cell activation.

Claudin Loss-of-Function Disrupts Tight Junctions and Impairs Amelogenesis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Claudins are a family of proteins that forms paracellular barriers and pores determining tight junctions (TJ) permeability. Claudin-16 and -19 are pore forming TJ proteins allowing calcium and magnesium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of Henle's

Do We Have a Proper Model? [PDF]

, 2014
It has been reported recently that the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) besides transcellular chloride transport, also controls the paracellular permeability of bronchial epithelium.

Innovative Metasurface Colorimetric Cell‐on‐a‐Chip Sensor for Continuous, Label‐Free, Non‐Destructive Assessment of Intestinal Barrier Dynamics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We developed a real‐time, label‐free, high‐throughput cell‐on‐a‐chip system based on a metasurface plasmon resonance colorimetric sensor (MetaSPRCS) to evaluate intestinal barrier function. This platform enables continuous monitoring of cell adhesion, proliferation, and barrier layer formation, disruption, and repair.
