Giant FAZ10 is required for flagellum attachment zone stabilization and furrow positioning in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
The flagellum and flagellum attachment zone (FAZ) are important cytoskeletal structures in trypanosomatids, being required for motility, cell division and cell morphogenesis.

Active zone stability: insights from fly neuromuscular junction
The presynaptic active zone is a dynamic structure that orchestrates regulated release of neurotransmitters. Developmental and aging processes, and changes in neuronal network activity can all modulate the number, size and composition of active zone and thereby synaptic efficacy.

Aggressive Surveillance Is Needed to Detect Endoleaks and Junctional Separation between Device Components after Zenith Fenestrated Aortic Reconstruction [PDF]
Background Junctional separation and resulting type IIIa endoleak is a well-known problem after EVAR (endovascular aneurysm repair). This complication results in sac pressurization, enlargement, and eventual rupture.

Manometric Characteristics of the Human Ileocecal Junctional Zone
Summary Five patients with surgical procedures allowing ready access to the ileocecal junction were studied to ascertain the manometric characteristics of this area. A 4-cm zone of elevated pressure was consistently demonstrated at the junction of human ileum and colon. This zone showed a decline in pressure with ileal balloon distention and a rise in

Differential Expression Of Gap Junction mRNAs And Proteins In The Developing Murine Kidney And In Experimentally Induced Nephric Mesenchymes [PDF]
The expression of three gap junction (GJ) proteins, alpha-1 (Cx43), beta-1 (Cx32), and beta-2 (Cx26), and their transcripts were examined during the ontogeny of the mouse and rat kidney. These proteins were expressed in two non-overlapping patterns.

Differential localization of glutamate receptor subunits at the drosophila neuromuscular junction [PDF]
The subunit composition of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors is a key determinant of synaptic physiology. Two glutamate receptor subunits, Drosophila glutamate receptor IIA (DGluRIIA) and DGluRIIB, are expressed at the Drosophila neuromuscular ...

Epidermolysa bullosa in Danish Hereford calves is caused by a deletion in LAMC2 gene [PDF]
BACKGROUND Heritable forms of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) constitute a heterogeneous group of skin disorders of genetic aetiology that are characterised by skin and mucous membrane blistering and ulceration in response to even minor trauma.

Spatial and temporal patterns of distribution of the gap junction protein connexin43 during mouse gastrulation and organogenesis [PDF]
Connexin43 (Cx43) is a member of the family of channel-forming proteins that make up the gap junction and are believed to provide pathways for cell-cell exchange of developmental signals.

Major Loss of the 28-kD Protein of Gap Junction in Proliferating Hepatocytes [PDF]
There is a reduction in the 28-kD gap junction protein detectable by immunofluorescence in livers of partially hepatectomized rats and in cultured hepatocytes stimulated to proliferate. By the coordinate use of antibodies directed to the hepatic junction

Imaging for the evaluation of endometriosis and adenomyosis [PDF]
Endometriosis affects between 5 and 45% of women in reproductive age, is associated with significant morbidity, and constitutes a major public health concern. The correct diagnosis is fundamental in defining the best treatment strategy for endometriosis.
