Development of tight junctions and cell polarity in epithelial cells requires a complex cellular
machinery to execute an internal program in response to ambient cues. Tight junctions, a …

Recent studies have greatly expanded our knowledge of initial events that lead to epithelial
cell polarity. Epithelial polarity is defined, in part, by apical cell–cell tight junctions that …

The zebrafish Danio rerio, a tropical freshwater fish, belongs to the family of cyprinidae,
which in the last 30 years has developed into a very popular model organism for studies of …

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic contaminant and has been widely
detected in the sea water. However, toxic effects of PFOS on cardiac development in marine …

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important developmental process,
participates in tissue repair, and occurs during pathologic processes of tumor invasiveness …

As an important trace metal, nickel (Ni) has been reported extensively in the studies on
freshwater animals. However, the toxic effects of Ni on marine organisms are not clearly …

Tight junctions are unique organelles in epithelial cells. They are localized to the apico-
lateral region and essential for the epithelial cell transport functions. The paracellular …

Abstract Background Sinoatrial Node (SAN) is part of the cardiac conduction system, which
controls the rhythmic contraction of the vertebrate heart. The SAN consists of a specialized …

Triazine herbicides have been widely detected in marine environments because of their
extensive usage in agriculture, but their impact on marine organisms is unclear. In this study …
