Tight junctions are intercellular adhesion complexes in epithelia and endothelia that control paracellular permeability. This paracellular diffusion barrier is semipermeable: it is size- and ...

The tight junction complex forms tiny strands to seal that intercellular space. Levine and colleagues demonstrated in their investigation that patients whose HIV was well controlled with ...

Working together with theoretical physicists led by Frank Jülicher at the Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS) in Dresden, the group was able to show that tight junction ...

COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y. (May 11, 2010) --Cell-cell junctions are multi-molecular complexes that link neighboring ... each of the main junction types—tight junctions, adherens junctions, and ...

The mechanisms that cause these symptoms are not fully understood. The stress of heat and oxidative damage during exercise causes disruption to intestinal epithelial cell tight junction proteins ...
