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 ...

Zonula occludens and nasal epithelial barrier integrity in allergic rhinitis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease affecting 400 million of the population worldwide. Nasal epithelial cells form a barrier against the invasion of environmental pathogens. These nasal epithelial cells are connected together by tight junction (TJ)

Association of connexin36 and zonula occludens-1 with zonula occludens-2 and the transcription factor zonula occludens-1-associated nucleic acid-binding protein at neuronal gap junctions in rodent retina [PDF]
Neuroscience, 2006 Most gap junctions between neurons in mammalian retina contain abundant connexin36, often in association with the scaffolding protein zonula occludens-1. We now investigate co-association of connexin36, zonula occludens-1, zonula occludens-2 and Y-box transcription factor 3 (zonula occludens-1-associated nucleic acid-binding protein) in mouse and rat ...
