Uncertainty Quantification and Sensitivity Analysis for the Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy of Changes to Intercellular Junctions Induced by Cold Atmospheric Plasma [PDF]

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
The influence of pertinent parameters of a Cole-Cole model in the impedimetric assessment of cell-monolayers was investigated with respect to the significance of their individual contribution.

Treponema pallidum Disrupts VE-Cadherin Intercellular Junctions and Traverses Endothelial Barriers Using a Cholesterol-Dependent Mechanism [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Phosphatase regulation of intercellular junctions. [PDF]

open access: yesTissue Barriers, 2013
Intercellular junctions represent the key contact points and sites of communication between neighboring cells. Assembly of these junctions is absolutely essential for the structural integrity of cell monolayers, tissues and organs. Disruption of junctions can have severe consequences such as diarrhea, edema and sepsis, and contribute to the development

RhoGEF Ect2 supports RhoA activity at cell–cell junctions through desmoplakin [PDF]

open access: yesLife Science Alliance
We describe a mechanism by which the desmosome component, desmoplakin, can recruit and control the activity of the contractile signaling regulator RhoA at cardiomyocyte and keratinocyte intercellular junctions, with implications for cardiocutaneous ...

Dynamic Python-Based Method Provides Quantitative Analysis of Intercellular Junction Organization During S. pneumoniae Infection of the Respiratory Epithelium

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Many respiratory pathogens compromise epithelial barrier function during lung infection by disrupting intercellular junctions, such as adherens junctions and tight junctions, that maintain intercellular integrity.

Overview of junctional complexes during mammalian early embryonic development

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Cell-cell junctions form strong intercellular connections and mediate communication between blastomeres during preimplantation embryonic development and thus are crucial for cell integrity, polarity, cell fate specification and morphogenesis.

H1N1 Influenza Virus Cross-Activates Gli1 to Disrupt the Intercellular Junctions of Alveolar Epithelial Cells

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: Influenza A virus (IAV) primarily infects the airway and alveolar epithelial cells and disrupts the intercellular junctions, leading to increased paracellular permeability.

Molecular Diffusion through Cyanobacterial Septal Junctions

open access: yesmBio, 2017
Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria grow as filaments in which intercellular molecular exchange takes place. During the differentiation of N2-fixing heterocysts, regulators are transferred between cells.

Intercellular Junctions: Actin the PARt [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2008
Several distinct polarity complexes participate in the assembly of intercellular junctions. Two studies showing that some of the same polarity complexes are essential regulators of continued junctional integrity lead to a new appreciation of the relationships between assembly and maintenance of intercellular junctions and highlight unappreciated roles ...
