The microbiota–gut–brain axis in Huntington's disease: pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets
Disturbances of the microbiota–gut–brain axis are evident in people with Huntington's disease (HD) and in HD animal models. Here, we provide an overview of how the trillions of microorganisms residing in the gut, their secretory products, and the microbiota–gut–brain axis may contribute to HD pathogenesis.

The intestinal epithelium consists of a single cell layer, which is a critical selectively permeable barrier to both absorb nutrients and avoid the entry of potentially harmful entities, including microorganisms. Epithelial cells are held together by the

Nuclear localization of tricellulin promotes the oncogenic property of pancreatic cancer
AbstractAccumulating evidence has shown that dysregulation of tight junctions (TJs) is involved in tumor development and progression. In this study, we investigated the expression and subcellular distribution of tricellulin, which constitutes tricellular TJs, using human pancreatic adenocarcinomas.

Abstract Since the 1960s, more than 350,000 new chemicals have been introduced into the lives of humans and domestic animals. Many of them have become part of modern life and some are affecting nature as pollutants. Yet, our comprehension of their potential health risks for both humans and animals remains partial.

Stroke‐Induced Renal Dysfunction: Underlying Mechanisms and Challenges of the Brain–Kidney Axis
After a stroke, multiple pathways in the neurohumoral system are activated. At the same time, the blood–brain barrier is compromised, and pro‐inflammatory substances are released from the brain into the bloodstream, consequently activating the peripheral inflammatory immune response.

Role of the Blood-Brain Barrier in the Formation of Brain Metastases [PDF]
The majority of brain metastases originate from lung cancer, breast cancer and malignant melanoma. In order to reach the brain, parenchyma metastatic cells have to transmigrate through the endothelial cell layer of brain capillaries, which forms the ...

A new type I arabinogalactan (AG‐I) polysaccharide from Epiphyllum oxypetalum (DC.) Haw's flowers (EPS) has immunomodulatory activity in the body. Furthermore, EPS supplementation altered intestinal lactic acid metabolism and enhanced the expression of repair proteins at the base of colonic crypts.

The disruption of the neurovascular unit and the infiltration of the peripheral immune cells into the central nervous system are hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. However, so far, the participation of infiltrating cells in the progression of these diseases has not been completely defined.

Tricellulin and Its Role in the Epididymal Epithelium of the Rat1
Tricellulin is a tight-junction protein present at tricellular tight junctions. It has been suggested that basal cells are implicated in the blood-epididymis barrier. Basal cells express claudins, a component of tight junctions; however, there is no information regarding the potential architecture or regulation of basal cell-principal cell interactions.
