This important study presents a compelling theoretical framework for understanding phase separation of membrane-bound proteins, with a focus on the organization of tight junction components. By ...

A new study by researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University in the U.S. describes the key interaction between the viral envelope (E) protein and the human cell junction ...

Gap junctions are pores between adjacent cells constituted by connexin (Cxs) proteins that provide a means of communication, electrical impulse propagation, and transfer of small molecules. One of the ...

Studies showed that BVES (blood vessel epicardial substance), a protein involved in regulating the formation of tight junctions (TJs) between epithelial cells, is downregulated in colorectal ...

In the article "Epithelial Junction Opener Improves Oncolytic Adenovirus Therapy in Mouse Tumor Models," the researchers demonstrate that administering the JO protein together with an oncolytic ...

Since RNAs are used as the instructions to make proteins, mistakes in RNA editing at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the site at which motor neurons innervate muscle, may cause problems in nerve ...
