Epithelia and endothelia separate different tissue compartments and protect multicellular
organisms from the outside world. This requires the formation of tight junctions, selective gates …

Tight junctions, the most apical of the intercellular junctions that connect individual cells in a
epithelial sheet, are thought to form a seal that restricts paracellular and intramembrane …

Tight junctions have long been regarded as simple barriers that separate compartments of
different compositions, but recent research indicates that different types of signalling proteins …

Epithelial tight junctions regulate paracellular diffusion and restrict the intermixing of apical
and basolateral plasma membrane components. We now identify a Y‐box transcription factor, …

Intercellular junctions are crucial for mechanotransduction, but whether tight junctions
contribute to the regulation of cell–cell tension and adherens junctions is unknown. Here, we …

Tight junctions are intercellular adhesion complexes in vertebrates that are required for the
formation of functional epithelial and endothelial barriers. Their morphological appearance …

Epithelial tight junctions regulate paracellular permeability, restrict apical/basolateral
intramembrane diffusion of lipids, and have been proposed to participate in the control of epithelial …

Extracellular Ca2+ triggers assembly and sealing of tight junctions (TJs) in MDCK cells.
These events are modulated by G-proteins, phospholipase C, protein kinase C (PKC), and …

Tight junctions are the most apical component of the epithelial junctional complex and are
crucial for the formation and functioning of epithelial and endothelial barriers. They regulate …

Tight junctions are important for the permeability properties of epithelial and endothelial
barriers as they restrict diffusion along the paracellular space. Recent observations have …
