Keeping cells together—how our body resists mechanical stressAt least three types of junctions are known: tight junctions, adherens junctions, and desmosomes. Previous studies have shown that adherens junctions and desmosomes play critical roles in ...
Primary human brain microvascular ECs (HBMVECs; Applied Cell Biology Research Institute, Kirkland, WA, USA) and immortalized primary HBMVECs (hCMEC/D3) were used in experiments with consistent and ...
The researchers next turned their attention to the molecular mechanism behind these abnormalities by identifying several of NS2A’s interacting partners, including some involved in cell-to-cell contact ...
