Sequestration of CAR in tight junctions may limit virus infection across epithelial surfaces.

They create tight junctions with mouse hepatocytes, with no evidence of cell fusion.

This isoform of TOCA-1 recruits the actin nucleation-promoting factor N-WASP to tight junctions.

JAM-A localizes to tight junctions and contributes to paracellular permeability in polarized epithelia.

Adherens junctions are calcium dependent; recent evidence suggests that calcium also affects tight junctions.

Virus entry into polarized epithelium required disruption of tight junctions.

Thus, this was the first description of the existence of tight junctions in the epidermis.

This study explores the expression and distribution of tight junctions and their regulation during pregnancy.

The structural integrity of intestinal mucosa and tight junctions were observed by transmission electron microscopy.

Obvious damage was observed in the mucosa, but the tight junctions between epithelial cells remained intact.

He described the cell-to-cell adhesion structures that blocked the movement of lanthanum as 'truly tight junctions'.

We also found that MMP9 maintains an efficient barrier function and the integrity of tight junctions.

These cells formed bile canaliculi sealed by tight junctions and were comparably polarized as cultured hepatocytes.

CAR is involved in the formation of epithelial tight junctions and promotes tumor growth in some cancers.

These endothelial cells maintain their barrier characteristics via cell-cell contacts made up of adherens and tight junctions.

Thanks to the discovery of claudin, the existence of tight junctions between epidermal keratinocytes was finally confirmed.
