Neuronal connexin36 association with zonula occludens‐1 protein (ZO‐1) in mouse brain and interaction with the first PDZ domain of ZO‐1 [PDF]
AbstractAmong the 20 members in the connexin family of gap junction proteins, only connexin36 (Cx36) is firmly established to be expressed in neurons and to form electrical synapses at widely distributed interneuronal gap junctions in mammalian brain.

Multiple effects of angiostatins in injured cornea [PDF]
Prolonged inflammation and excessive neovascularization of the cornea due to severe injury can impair optical clarity and lead to vision impairment. Plasminogen kringle (K) fragments, known as angiostatins (AS), play a well-established role as inhibitors

Redifferentiation and ZO‐1 reexpression in liver‐metastasized colorectal cancer: Possible association with epidermal growth factor receptor‐induced tyrosine phosphorylation of ZO‐1 [PDF]
Tubular gland structures of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been demonstrated to undergo dedifferentiation at the primary site, and then the gland structures are re‐formed in the liver me‐tastases. In this study, we examined the degree of differentiation of the gland structure of 48 cases of CRCs (24 cases with synchronous liver metastasis, 24 cases ...

Longitudinal Changes to Tight Junction Expression and Endothelial Cell Integrity in a Mouse Model of Sterile Corneal Inflammation [PDF]
PURPOSE: We previously reported that applying toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands to an injured cornea induces corneal edema at 24 hours, which subsides by 1 week.

Porcine Colostrum Protects the IPEC-J2 Cells and Piglet Colon Epithelium against Clostridioides (syn. Clostridium) difficile Toxin-Induced Effects [PDF]
Clostridioides difficile toxins are one of the main causative agents for the clinical symptoms observed during C. difficile infection in piglets. Porcine milk has been shown to strengthen the epithelial barrier function in the piglet’s intestine and may ...

PSD-95 Is Associated with the Postsynaptic Density and Not with the Presynaptic Membrane at Forebrain Synapses [PDF]
PSD-95, a prominent protein component of the postsynaptic density (PSD) fraction from rat forebrain, has been localized by light microscopy to dendrites of hippocampal neurons (Cho et al., 1992) and to the presynaptic plexus of cerebellar basket cells ...
