Phosphatase regulation of intercellular junctions. [PDF]
Tissue 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

Force-driven growth of intercellular junctions [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 421 (2017): 101-111, 2017 Mechanical force regulates the formation and growth of cell-cell junctions. Cadherin is a prominent homotypic cell adhesion molecule that plays a crucial role in establishment of intercellular adhesion. It is known that the transmitted force through the cadherin-mediated junctions directly correlates with the growth and enlargement of the junctions. In

Collective cell durotaxis emerges from long-range intercellular force transmission [PDF]
Science, 2016 The ability of cells to follow gradients of extracellular matrix stiffness—durotaxis—has been implicated in development, fibrosis, and cancer. Here, we found multicellular clusters that exhibited durotaxis even if isolated constituent cells did not. This

Intercellular Junctions of the Secretory Ameloblasts
Japanese Journal of Oral Biology, 1981 In A study of the ultrastruncture of the secretory ameloblasts, fifty neonatal rats were perfused with Karnovsky's fixative or fixative containing tannic acid and glutaraldehyde. The distribution and structural features of cell junctions in the ameloblasts were studied by thin sectioning and freeze-fracture technique.The longitudinal sections of ...

Overview of junctional complexes during mammalian early embryonic development
Frontiers 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.

Intercellular Junctions: Actin the PARt [PDF]
Current 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 ...

Molecular Diffusion through Cyanobacterial Septal Junctions
mBio, 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.
