ILDR1 deficiency causes degeneration of cochlear outer hair cells and disrupts the structure of the organ of Corti: a mouse model for human DFNB42

open access: yesBiology Open, 2015
Immunoglobulin-like domain containing receptor 1 (ILDR1) is a poorly characterized gene that was first identified in lymphoma cells. Mutations in ILDR1 are responsible for DFNB42, but the pathogenesis of hearing loss caused by ILDR1 mutations remains to ...

Tetraspanin CD9 limits mucosal healing in experimental colitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Tetraspanins are a family of proteins with four transmembrane domains that associate between themselves and cluster with other partner proteins, conforming a distinct class of membrane domains, the tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs).

Effects of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) on barrier properties and mRNA transcript levels of selected marker proteins in brain endothelial cells/astrocyte co-cultures.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Ischemic stroke has been shown to induce breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, although these changes are not fully characterized. Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) has been used to investigate the effects of ischemia in cultured brain capillary ...

Effect of cAMP derivates on assembly and maintenance of tight junctions in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background Endothelial tight and adherens junctions control a variety of physiological processes like adhesion, paracellular transport of solutes or trafficking of activated leukocytes. Formation and maintenance of endothelial junctions largely depend on

Role of the Blood-Brain Barrier in the Formation of Brain Metastases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

Marked differences in tight junction composition and macromolecular permeability among different intestinal cell types

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2018
Background Mammalian small intestinal tight junctions (TJ) link epithelial cells to one another and function as a permselective barrier, strictly modulating the passage of ions and macromolecules through the pore and leak pathways, respectively, thereby ...

Occludin Content Modulates Hydrogen Peroxide–Induced Increase in Renal Epithelial Paracellular Permeability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The ability of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to increase paracellular permeability of renal epithelial cell monolayers was examined and the role of occludin in this regulation was investigated.

Intestinal preservation using a tailored luminal solution and aeration: A small animal study

open access: yesIntestinal Failure
Background: Oxygenation during organ preservation has been suggested to enhance outcomes after transplantation, however, data is scarce regarding the intestine. We compared static cold storage (SCS) with two alternative approaches: a luminal polyethylene

Studies of the Tumor-Vasculature Interface : Role of TGF-beta 1-induced Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Tumor metastasis is a complex multistep process. Among key steps that occur during metastatic spread are acquisition of tumor cell motility, intravasation of tumor cells into blood or lymphatic vessels and extravasation of tumor cells at distal sites ...
