The analysis of the asymmetry of TCJ distribution in epithelial tissue where epithelial cells undergo unequal size distribution might provide insights on how unequal daughter cells are generated ...

Figure 1: MTf is a septate junction component ... junction protein complexes from the basolateral surface of epithelial cells at stage 13. On internalisation, the complexes may dissociate in ...

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 ...

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 ...

These junctions are responsible for maintaining the shape and integrity of the sheets of epithelial cells that line such body cavities as the digestive tract, as well as the surfaces of structures ...

Cell barrier opens at junctions of three cells The scientists found that the epithelial cells sequentially removed four different adhesion proteins from their membranes. "This process takes ...

The researchers painstakingly examined how Alix exercises these functions to promote the correct assembly and positioning of specialized intercellular junctions between epithelial cells called the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The strong mechanical attachments – the "glue"—that hold together the cells of the skin and the other epithelial tissues of the body are the adherens junctions. Recent research on Drosophila ...
