Cyanobacterial Septal Junctions: Properties and Regulation

Life, 2018
Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria are multicellular organisms that grow as chains of cells (filaments or trichomes) in which the cells exchange regulators and nutrients.

Metallothionein 2 activation by pravastatin reinforces epithelial integrity and ameliorates radiation-induced enteropathy

EBioMedicine, 2021
: Background: Radiotherapy or accidental exposure to ionizing radiation causes severe damage of healthy intestinal tissues. Intestinal barrier function is highly sensitive to ionizing radiation, and loss of epithelial integrity results in mucosal ...

Regulation of intercellular coupling in acute and chronic heart disease

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
Effective pump function of the heart depends on the precise control of spatial and temporal patterns of electrical activation. Accordingly, the distribution and function of gap junction channels are important determinants of the conduction properties of ...

Adherens, tight, and gap junctions in ependymal cells: A systematic review of their contribution to CSF-brain barrier

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
IntroductionThe movement of fluids and solutes across the ependymal barrier, and their changes in physiologic and disease states are poorly understood.

The multifarious regulation of the apical junctional complex [PDF]

Open Biology, 2020
Epithelial cells form highly organized polarized sheets with characteristic cell morphologies and tissue architecture. Cell–cell adhesion and intercellular communication are prerequisites of such cohesive sheets of cells, and cell connectivity is ...

Regulation of gap junctions by protein phosphorylation

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
Gap junctions are constituted by intercellular channels and provide a pathway for transfer of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells of most tissues.

7-Ketocholesterol modulates intercellular communication through gap-junction in bovine lens epithelial cells

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2004
Background Connexin43 (Cx43) is an integral membrane protein that forms intercellular channels called gap junctions. Intercellular communication in the eye lens relies on an extensive network of gap junctions essential for the maintenance of lens ...

Mouse middle ear ion homeostasis channels and intercellular junctions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The middle ear contains homeostatic mechanisms that control the movement of ions and fluids similar to those present in the inner ear, and are altered during inflammation.The normal middle ear cavity is fluid-free and air-filled to allow for effective ...

Tunneling Nanotubes and Gap Junctions–Their Role in Long-Range Intercellular Communication during Development, Health, and Disease Conditions

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Cell-to-cell communication is essential for the organization, coordination, and development of cellular networks and multi-cellular systems. Intercellular communication is mediated by soluble factors (including growth factors, neurotransmitters, and ...
