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

Overview of junctional complexes during mammalian early embryonic development
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.

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
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]
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 ...
