Intercellular communication in normal and regenerating rat liver: a quantitative analysis [PDF]

We have compared intercellular communication in the regenerating and normal livers of weanling rats. The electrophysiological studies were conducted at the edge of the liver, and we have found that here as elsewhere in the liver there is a dramatic ...

Substrate stiffness and VE-cadherin mechano-transduction coordinate to regulate endothelial monolayer integrity. [PDF]

The vascular endothelium is subject to diverse mechanical cues that regulate vascular endothelial barrier function. In addition to rigidity sensing through integrin adhesions, mechanical perturbations such as changes in fluid shear stress can also ...

Porcine rotavirus mainly infects primary porcine enterocytes at the basolateral surface

Veterinary Research, 2019
Intestinal epithelium functions as a barrier to protect multicellular organisms from the outside world. It consists of epithelial cells closely connected by intercellular junctions, selective gates which control paracellular diffusion of solutes, ions ...

Increased Expression of Adherens Junction Components in Mouse Liver following Bile Duct Ligation

Biomolecules, 2019
Adherens junctions, consisting of cadherins and catenins, are a group of cell-to-cell junctions that mediate mechanistic linkage between neighboring cells. By doing so, adherens junctions ensure direct intercellular contact and play an indispensable role

Loss and reappearance of gap junctions in regenerating liver [PDF]

Changes in intercellular junctional morphology associated with rat liver regeneration were examined in a freeze-fracture study. After a two-thirds partial hepatectomy, both gap junctions and zonulae occludentes were drastically altered.

Effect Of Gas6 On Endothelial Barrier Induced By Pg-Lps

International Dental Journal
Aim or purpose: To explore the function of Growth-arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6) on vascular endothelial barrier integrity induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (Pg-LPS) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Materials and

Interaction Studies Between Cyclic Peptide ADT-C3 (Ac-CADTPC-NH2) with E-Cadherin Protein using the Molecular Docking Method Simulated on 120ns

Jurnal Kimia Sains dan Aplikasi, 2018
The treatment of diseases that attack the brain is very difficult, because the delivery of drug molecules to the brain is often hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). So that the drug delivery is not right on the target cell.

Immunocytochemical localization of the main intrinsic polypeptide (MIP) in ultrathin frozen sections of rat lens. [PDF]

The in situ distribution of the 26-kdalton Main Intrinsic Polypeptide (MIP or MP 26), a putative gap junction protein in ocular lens fibers, was defined at the electron microscope level using indirect immunoferritin labeling of ultrathin frozen sections ...

Biotin-cGMP and -cAMP are able to permeate through the gap junctions of some amacrine cells in the mouse retina despite their large size

Frontiers in Ophthalmology
Gap junctions transmit electrical signals in neurons and serve metabolic coupling and chemical communication. Gap junctions are made of intercellular channels with large pores, allowing ions and small molecules to permeate.

Intercellular Diffusion of a Fluorescent Sucrose Analog via the Septal Junctions in a Filamentous Cyanobacterium

mBio, 2015
Many filamentous cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts, which are located at semiregular intervals along the filament with about 10 to 20 photosynthetic vegetative cells in between.
