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.

Compartmentalized and signal-selective gap junctional coupling in the hearing cochlea [PDF]

, 2006
Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) plays a major role in cochlear function. Recent evidence suggests that connexin 26 (Cx26) and Cx30 are the major constituent proteins of cochlear gap junction channels, possibly in a unique heteromeric ...

Effect Of Gas6 On Endothelial Barrier Induced By Pg-Lps

International Dental Journal
Aim or purpose: To explore the function of Growth-arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6) on vascular endothelial barrier integrity induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (Pg-LPS) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Materials and

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.

Protective effects of HBOC on pulmonary vascular leakage after haemorrhagic shock and the underlying mechanisms

Artificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology, 2020
Volume resuscitation is an important early treatment for haemorrhagic shock. Haemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC) can expand the volume and provide oxygen for tissues.

Collective cell durotaxis emerges from long-range intercellular force transmission [PDF]

, 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

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.

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 ...

PP2A-B55alpha controls keratinocyte adhesion through dephosphorylation of the Desmoplakin C-terminus

Scientific Reports, 2023
Critical for the maintenance of epidermal integrity and function are attachments between intermediate filaments (IF) and intercellular junctions called desmosomes.
