Connexins in neurons and glia: targets for intervention in disease and injury

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Both neurons and glia throughout the central nervous system are organized into networks by gap junctions. Among glia, gap junctions facilitate metabolic homeostasis and intercellular communication.

Porcine rotavirus mainly infects primary porcine enterocytes at the basolateral surface

Veterinary Research, 2019
Intestinal epithelium functions as a barrier to protect multicellular organisms from the outside world. It consists of epithelial cells closely connected by intercellular junctions, selective gates which control paracellular diffusion of solutes, ions ...

Increased Expression of Adherens Junction Components in Mouse Liver following Bile Duct Ligation

Biomolecules, 2019
Adherens junctions, consisting of cadherins and catenins, are a group of cell-to-cell junctions that mediate mechanistic linkage between neighboring cells. By doing so, adherens junctions ensure direct intercellular contact and play an indispensable role

Interaction Studies Between Cyclic Peptide ADT-C3 (Ac-CADTPC-NH2) with E-Cadherin Protein using the Molecular Docking Method Simulated on 120ns

Jurnal Kimia Sains dan Aplikasi, 2018
The treatment of diseases that attack the brain is very difficult, because the delivery of drug molecules to the brain is often hindered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). So that the drug delivery is not right on the target cell.

Biotin-cGMP and -cAMP are able to permeate through the gap junctions of some amacrine cells in the mouse retina despite their large size

Frontiers in Ophthalmology
Gap junctions transmit electrical signals in neurons and serve metabolic coupling and chemical communication. Gap junctions are made of intercellular channels with large pores, allowing ions and small molecules to permeate.

Intercellular Diffusion of a Fluorescent Sucrose Analog via the Septal Junctions in a Filamentous Cyanobacterium

mBio, 2015
Many filamentous cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts, which are located at semiregular intervals along the filament with about 10 to 20 photosynthetic vegetative cells in between.

ATP Release from Cultured Endothelial Cells and Intercellular Calcium Signaling during Shear Stress Exposure

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009
Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) is a second messenger molecule critical for numerous intracellular signaling pathways in endothelial cells (ECs). Direct mechanical stimulation imposed on single ECs by a microprobe has been demonstrated to increase [Ca2 ...
