Treponema pallidum Disrupts VE-Cadherin Intercellular Junctions and Traverses Endothelial Barriers Using a Cholesterol-Dependent Mechanism [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, traverses the vascular endothelium to gain access to underlying tissue sites. Herein, we investigate the mechanisms associated with T.

Cell chirality regulates intercellular junctions and endothelial permeability. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2018 The handedness of the cell regulates the permeability of blood vessels. Cell chirality is a newly discovered intrinsic property of the cell, reflecting the bias of the cell to polarize in the left-right axis.

Junctional Adhesion Molecule, a Novel Member of the Immunoglobulin Superfamily That Distributes at Intercellular Junctions and Modulates Monocyte Transmigration [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1998 Tight junctions are the most apical components of endothelial and epithelial intercellular cleft. In the endothelium these structures play an important role in the control of paracellular permeability to circulating cells and solutes.

The inner CSF-brain barrier: developmentally controlled access to the brain via intercellular junctions. [PDF]
Front Neurosci, 2015 In the adult the interface between the cerebrospinal fluid and the brain is lined by the ependymal cells, which are joined by gap junctions. These intercellular connections do not provide a diffusional restrain between the two compartments.
