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.

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 ...

BMC Cell Biology, 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.

Tight Junctions of the Neurovascular Unit
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 The homeostatic balance of the brain and retina is maintained by the presence of the blood-brain and inner blood-retinal barrier (BBB/iBRB, respectively) which are highly specialized barriers.

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2003 A fundamental function of epithelia and endothelia is to separate different compartments within the organism and to regulate the exchange of substances between them. The tight junction (TJ) constitutes the barrier both to the passage of ions and molecules through the paracellular pathway and to the movement of proteins and lipids between the apical and
