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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Role of carbon dioxide and ion transport in the formation of sub-embryonic fluid by the blastoderm of the Japanese quail [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
1. The explanted blastoderm of the Japanese quail was used to explore the role of ions and carbon dioxide in determining the rate of sub-embryonic fluid (SEF) production between 54 and 72 h of incubation. 2.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Molecular basis of gap junctional communication in the CNS of the leech Hirudo medicinalis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Gap junctions are intercellular channels that allow the passage of ions and small molecules between cells. In the nervous system, gap junctions mediate electrical coupling between neurons.

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

open access: yesNeural 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.

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

open access: yesBiomolecules, 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

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.

Porcine rotavirus mainly infects primary porcine enterocytes at the basolateral surface

open access: yesVeterinary 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 ...
