In this review, we have tried to summarize the current knowledge on the distribution of
important molecular components of intercellular junctions—both tight junctions (TJs) and …

Rationale: Lymphatic transport of peripheral interstitial fluid and dendritic cells (DCs) is
important for both adaptive immunity and maintenance of tolerance to self-antigens …

The endothelial barrier maintains vascular and tissue homeostasis and modulates many
physiological processes, such as angiogenesis. Vascular barrier integrity can be disrupted …

VE‐cadherin is the essential adhesion molecule in endothelial adherens junctions, and the
regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation is thought to be important for the control of …

In order for cancer cells to successfully colonize a metastatic site, they must detach from the
primary tumor using extracellular matrix-degrading proteases, intravasate and survive in the …

Regulated movement of stem cells is critical for organogenesis during development and for
homeostasis and repair in adulthood. Here we analyze the biological significance and …

VE-cadherin is an endothelial-specific cadherin that is essential for the formation and
regulation of endothelial cell junctions. The adhesive function and expression levels of VE …

Migration of leukocytes into tissue is a key element of innate and adaptive immunity. While
the capturing of leukocytes to the blood vessel wall is well understood, little is known about …

Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) is an endothelial cell–specific cadherin that
plays an important role in the control of vascular organization. Blocking VE-cadherin …

Vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) is a component of the adherens junctions of
endothelial cells whose role in endothelial transmigration of leukocytes has been …
