Adherens junctions (AJs), together with tight junctions (TJs), form an apical junctional
complex that regulates intestinal epithelial cell-to-cell adherence and barrier homeostasis …

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is closely associated with diarrhoea in children in
resource-limited countries. This study aims to investigate the change of the mucosal …

This study was aimed to investigate the expressions of E-cadherin, p120ctn, β-catenin and
NF-κB in ulcerative colitis (UC) tissues and the implications of their expressions in the …

Purpose.: Development of the ocular anterior segment depends largely on periocular
mesenchyme cells, which are derived predominantly from neural crest cells (NCC). Specific …

Abstract P120 catenin (p120) is a non-redundant master regulatory protein of cadherin-
based cell-cell junctions, intracellular signaling, and tissue homeostasis and repair …

Trpm7 is a divalent cation-permeable channel that has been reported to be involved in
magnesium homeostasis as well as cellular adhesion and migration. We generated …

Integrity of the epithelial barrier is determined by apical junctional complexes which also
participate in the signalling pathways inducing intestinal cell differentiation. Lipid rafts (LR) …

Chronic intestinal inflammation contributes to pathologies such as inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD) and colon cancer. While the precise etiology remains controversial, IBD is …

Many common inflammatory disorders are characterized by the infiltration of neutrophils
across epithelial lined (mucosal) surfaces resulting in disruption of critical barrier function …

Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is categorized as Crohn's disease (CD) and
Ulcerative colitis (UC) and is characterized by chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal …
