The heat-shock protein Apg-2 binds to the tight junction protein ZO-1 and regulates transcriptional activity of ZONAB [PDF]
The tight junction adaptor protein ZO-1 regulates intracellular signaling and cell proliferation. Its Src homology 3 (SH3) domain is required for the regulation of proliferation and binds to the Y-box transcription factor ZO-1-associated nucleic acid ...

Pathophysiology of tight junctions in human diseases. [PDF]
The human body maintains maximal independence from the environment by means of a highly impermeable continuous cell sheet. For the maintenance of homeostasis, tight junctions must strictly regulate or restrict the passage of various solutes through the ...

Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Functional interaction between the ZO-1-interacting transcription factor ZONAB/DbpA and the RNA processing factor symplekin [PDF]
Epithelial tight junctions participate in the regulation of gene expression by controlling the activity of transcription factors that can interact with junctional components.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

"Barrierology" : Tight Junctions and Human Diseases [PDF]
Tight junctions are intercellular junctions adjacent to the lateral end of the apical membrane. They have two functions: the barrier (or gate) function and the fence function.

Rol de las uniones estrechas del epitelio intestinal en la patogenia de la enfermedad de Crohn
Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the intestinal wall. This wall consists of an epithelial cell layer that forms a continuous polarized monolayer, closely connected by various types of cellular junctions.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Analysis of Rho GTPase signalling pathways regulating epithelial morphogenesis [PDF]
Rho GTPases are molecular switches controlling many aspects of cell behaviour, including cell cycle progression, cell division, migration and morphology. The activity of Rho proteins is regulated by conformational changes induced by binding of guanine

Sub-micron thin film intrinsic Josephson junctions [PDF]
We have fabricated sub-micron intrinsic Josephson junctions in thin films of Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O using two differing techniques suited to different applications. By using lateral focussed ion-beam milling we have created arrays of intrinsic junctions in c-axis
