Beneficial effects of intercellular interactions between pancreatic islet cells in blood glucose regulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Glucose homeostasis is controlled by the islets of Langerhans which are equipped with alpha-cells increasing the blood glucose level, beta-cells decreasing it, and delta-cells the precise role of which still needs identifying. Although intercellular communications between these endocrine cells have recently been observed, their roles in glucose ...

Tight junctions as regulators of tissue remodelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Formation of tissue barriers by epithelial and endothelial cells requires neighbouring cells to interact via intercellular junctions, which includes tight junctions.

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

The current concept of development of specialized intercellular connections between cardiomyocytes [PDF]

open access: yesМорфологія, 2009
The understanding of development of interrelation between electric and mechanical contacts in ontogenetic aspect can throw light on the mechanisms underlying heart pathologies related with local disturbance of gap junctions distribution.

Consequences of Many-cell Correlations in Treating Clocked Quantum-dot Cellular Automata Circuits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) provides a basis for classical computation without transistors. Many simulations of QCA rely upon the so-called Intercellular Hartree Approximation (ICHA), which neglects the possibility of entanglement between cells.

The HA proteins of botulinum toxin disrupt intestinal epithelial intercellular junctions to increase toxin absorption

open access: yesCellular Microbiology, 2007
The type B botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) elicits flaccid paralysis and death in humans by intoxicating peripheral nerves after oral absorption. Here, we examine the function of the haemagglutinin (HA), a non‐toxic component of the large 16S BoNT complex ...

Asymmetric patterns of gap junctional communication in developing chicken skin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
To study the pattern of gap junctional communication in chicken skin and feather development, we injected Lucifer Yellow into single cells and monitored the transfer of the fluorescent dye through gap junctions.

PSD-95 Is Associated with the Postsynaptic Density and Not with the Presynaptic Membrane at Forebrain Synapses [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
PSD-95, a prominent protein component of the postsynaptic density (PSD) fraction from rat forebrain, has been localized by light microscopy to dendrites of hippocampal neurons (Cho et al., 1992) and to the presynaptic plexus of cerebellar basket cells ...

A Bioengineered Model of the Human Cornea for Preclinical Assessment of Human Ocular Exposure to Environmental Toxicants

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
This paper presents a microphysiological system containing an array of individually addressable living corneal tissues constructed using primary human cells. The bioengineered eye model can simulate acute exposure of the human cornea to different types of environmental toxicants and provides a novel platform for visualization and quantitative ...

MLKL trafficking and accumulation at the plasma membrane control the kinetics and threshold for necroptosis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) is the terminal protein in the pro-inflammatory necroptotic cell death program. Here the authors show that MLKL trafficking and plasma membrane accumulation are crucial necroptosis checkpoints, and that ...
