Identification of MarvelD3 as a tight junction-associated transmembrane protein of the occludin family [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Tight junctions are an intercellular adhesion complex of epithelial and endothelial cells, and form a paracellular barrier that restricts the diffusion of solutes on the basis of size and charge.

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 ...

Intermediate filament–membrane attachments function synergistically with actin-dependent contacts to regulate intercellular adhesive strength [PDF]

, 2002
By tethering intermediate filaments (IFs) to sites of intercellular adhesion, desmosomes facilitate formation of a supercellular scaffold that imparts mechanical strength to a tissue.

Sub-micron thin film intrinsic Josephson junctions [PDF]

, 2003
We have fabricated sub-micron intrinsic Josephson junctions in thin films of Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O using two differing techniques suited to different applications. By using lateral focussed ion-beam milling we have created arrays of intrinsic junctions in c-axis
