Now, researchers in the iPS Cell Research Center at Gladstone Institutes have shown that tight junctions between cells may play a critical role in gastrulation in human embryos. "This study has ...

the cellular components that keep the junctions tight. What's more, inhibiting claudin expression in a cell assay or stimulating the Toll-like receptors in an animal model loosened the junctions ...

However, how these tight junctions form has long been a mystery. Now, biologists have uncovered that the proteins responsible for these seals form a liquid-like material on the cell surface much ...

A research team led by the University of Göttingen, and including researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, has shown that particularly close ...

“All these cells are either interpreting the same cue from BMP4 differently, or they’re not really getting the same cue.” “Tight junctions between adjacent cells seem to make them impervio ...

Keeping track of them is the aim of the Cell Junctions site, hosted by the Cowin lab at the New York Medical Center. With topic categories that include desmosomes, hemidesmosomes, adherens, tight ...
