In many animal tissues, stem cells continually divide to create new cells that replace old or damaged ones. However, this capacity requires strict regulation, as uncontrolled stem cell proliferation ...
Tight junctions are sites of cell-cell contacts at the apical region of epithelial junctions that are involved in barrier formation, cellular signaling, and cell-cell adhesion. Tight junctions are ...

Endothelial cell junctions form a dynamic interface that governs vascular permeability, tissue perfusion and homeostasis. The principal adhesive structures—adherens junctions and tight junctions—are ...
Neuromuscular diseases are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons, and peripheral cells interact. Researchers from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz ...
