Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called junctions. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

Epithelial morphogenesis is regulated by the modulation of intercellular junctions, which are known as adherens junctions (AJs). AJs comprise cadherin receptors and associated proteins ...

Epithelial cells defend human skin and mucous membranes. Specialized structures known as “junctions” enable this “barrier” tissue to carry out its role. They control interactions between ...

Researchers study how auditory epithelial cells in chicks simultaneously coordinate position and orientation to arrange ...

We studied altogether 50 samples representing human cervical disease of different grades, together with four samples representing normal squamous epithelium and two from columnar cervical epithelium.

After two weeks at 37°C, these cells grow to form multilayered sheets of epithelial cells. The viable cell sheet is harvested with intact cell-to-cell junctions and extracellular matrix in a ...

Ultrastructural studies of centipede and other myriapod ovaries reveal direct soma-germline contact across the basement ...

Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is a protein found in the tight junctions of epithelial cells to modulate their permeability and barrier function, among other actions.

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 ...
