RhoGEF Ect2 supports RhoA activity at cell–cell junctions through desmoplakin
Life Science AllianceWe describe a mechanism by which the desmosome component, desmoplakin, can recruit and control the activity of the contractile signaling regulator RhoA at cardiomyocyte and keratinocyte intercellular junctions, with implications for cardiocutaneous ...

Junctional complexes and cell-cell signalling in zebrafish morphogenesis [PDF]
, 2010 Intercellular junctions are composed of tight, gap and adherens junctions and have been shown to play many roles in embryonic morphogenesis. I have been studying the role that intercellular junctions play in zebrafish development.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Engineered red blood cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (eRBCEVs) are synthesized via controlled microfluidic assembly from native RBC lipids, enabling tunable encapsulation of proteins, nucleic acids, nanoparticles, and viral vectors. The platform demonstrates reproducible nanoscale architecture, preserved membrane composition, and functional cargo ...

Gap junction protein connexin43 exacerbates lung vascular permeability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Increased vascular permeability causes pulmonary edema that impairs arterial oxygenation and thus contributes to morbidity and mortality associated with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and sepsis.

Studies of intercellular Ca2+ signaling and gap-junction coupling in the developing cochlea of mouse models affected by congenital hearing loss [PDF]
, 2013 Connexin 26 (Cx26) and connexin 30 (Cx30) form gap junction channels that allow the intercellular diffusion of the Ca2+ mobilizing second messenger IP3.

Brain barriers: Crosstalk between complex tight junctions and adherens junctions [PDF]
, 2015 Unique intercellular junctional complexes between the central nervous system (CNS) microvascular endothelial cells and the choroid plexus epithelial cells form the endothelial blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the epithelial blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Gonzalez Martinez and collaborators develop a strategy to formulate high performance GelMA‐based bioinks with low solids contents. The resulting bioinks enable 3D bioprinting at 37 °C of high‐fidelity structures with tunable mechanical properties that support high cell viability and function.

Intercellular mechanotransduction through adherens junctions in fibroblasts
, 2002 Cells in mechanically active environments form extensive intercellular junctions that are important in tissue remodeling and differentiation. Currently, it is unknown how cells transmit mechanically-induced signals through intercellular junctions.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.
