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 ...

Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2016 Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

Zonula occludens‐1 and connexin 43 expression in the failing human heart [PDF]
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2007 AbstractFocal disorganization of gap junctional distribution and down‐regulation of the major gap junctional protein connexin 43 are typical features of myocardial remodelling in the failing human heart. Increasing evidence indicates that connexin 43 interacts with zonula‐occludens‐1 (ZO‐1), and it has recently been shown that ZO‐1 promotes the ...
