FRAP analysis reveals stabilization of adhesion structures in the epidermis compared to cultured keratinocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Proper development and tissue maintenance requires cell-cell adhesion structures, which serve diverse and crucial roles in tissue morphogenesis. Epithelial tissues have three main types of cell-cell junctions: tight junctions, which play a major role in ...

α5 integrin regulates hepatic tight junctions through SRC-TET1-mediated DNA hydroxymethylation
iScience, 2022 Summary: The functional tight junctions’ integrity plays an important role in liver physiology. A variety of liver diseases have been associated with the perturbation of tight junctions.

Keratin 76 is required for tight junction function and maintenance of the skin barrier. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Keratins are cytoskeletal intermediate filament proteins that are increasingly being recognised for their diverse cellular functions. Here we report the consequences of germ line inactivation of Keratin 76 (Krt76) in mice.

Theory of electron transport in normal metal/superconductor junctions [PDF]
, 2000 On the basis of the Keldysh method of non-equilibrium systems, we develop a theory of electron tunneling in normal-metal/superconductor junctions. By using the tunneling Hamiltonian model (being appropriate for the tight-binding systems), the tunneling ...

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 ...

Claudins in the Renal Collecting Duct [PDF]
, 2019 The renal collecting duct fine-tunes urinary composition, and thereby, coordinates key physiological processes, such as volume/blood pressure regulation, electrolyte-free water reabsorption, and acid-base homeostasis.
