Tight junctions as regulators of tissue remodelling [PDF]
, 2016 Formation of tissue barriers by epithelial and endothelial cells requires neighbouring cells to interact via intercellular junctions, which includes tight junctions.

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.

Developmental expression of claudins in the mammary gland [PDF]
, 2017 Claudins are a large family of membrane proteins whose classic function is to regulate the permeability of tight junctions in epithelia. They are tetraspanins, with four alpha-helices crossing the membrane, two extracellular loops, a short cytoplasmic N ...

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 ...

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

Effects of acute and chronic disease on cell junctions in mouse liver
EXCLI Journal : Experimental and Clinical Sciences, 2023 Cell junctions, including anchoring, occluding and communicating junctions, play an indispensable role in tissue architecture and homeostasis. Consequently, malfunctioning of cell junctions is linked with a wide range of disorders, including in liver ...

Chitosan encapsulation modulates the effect of capsaicin on the tight junctions of MDCK cells [PDF]
, 2015 Capsaicin has known pharmacological effects including the ability to reversibly open cellular tight junctions, among others. The aim of this study was to develop a strategy to enhance the paracellular transport of a substance with low permeability (FITC ...
