Claudin tight junction proteins have been identified to primarily determine intestinal epithelial
barrier properties. While functional contribution of single claudins has been characterized …

The pig represents a preferred model for the analysis of intestinal immunology. However,
the barrier of the follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) covering porcine Peyer's patches (PP) …

Objective: The morphology and functions of the proximal and distal large intestine are not the
same. The incidence of colorectal cancer in these regions is also different, as tumors more …

The aim of the study was to investigate the barrier function of Peyer’s patches epithelium,
which covers the clusters of organized lymphoid tissues in the small intestinal. We used the …

Purpose. The tight junctions in the intestinal epithelium represent highly specialized
intercellular junctions. Ranitidine, an H 2 -antagonist, causes a tightening of the tight junctions. …

Background: Many food components influence intestinal epithelial barrier properties and might
therefore also affect susceptibility to the development of food allergies. Such allergies are …

The mitotic spindle must function in cell types that vary greatly in size, and its dimensions
scale with the rapid, reductive cell divisions that accompany early stages of development. The …

The tight junction (TJ) surrounds epithelial cells in the upper third of the lateral cellular
membrane. It is formed by different proteins that are anchored within the membrane of epithelial …

… Evgeny Tishchenko for assistance with pulse sequence programing. Funding for this
work was provided in part by the William Wiley Postdoctoral Fellowship from EMSL to PNR …

This study was conducted to investigate how far dietary zinc (Zn) modifies the histomorphological
alterations induced by diabetes in rat kidneys. The animals were divided into negative …
