These claudin-1 deficient mice usually died within 1 day of birth due to defected epidermal barrier function thereby causing excessive transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and severe dehydration [3].

SINGAPORE – While the US is raising tariffs and potentially igniting a global trade war, Singapore is working to lower duties and trade barriers. Singapore’s strategy to navigate through this ...

Abstract: Analyzing pore structures in tight sandstone thin sections is pivotal for assessing reservoir quality and predicting hydrocarbon migration, providing critical guidance for the formulation of ...

In this Review, we summarise these findings and highlight several new therapeutic concepts currently being developed that attempt to control inflammatory processes via direct or indirect modulation of ...

Species specificities in tight junction proteins and efflux transporters governing the barrier functions of these interfaces hamper the direct translation of pharmacokinetic and pathophysiological ...

Over the past two decades a growing body of evidence has demonstrated an important role of tight junction (TJ) proteins in the physiology ... functional role as integral proteins of TJs in forming ...

Cells were immunostained for tight junctions using goat anti–ZO-1 antibody (Abcam ... Furthermore, we observed reduced wound healing on a porous membrane (3 μm pores, 800,000 pores/cm 2) relative to a ...

Abstract: A vertical Ga2O3 junction-barrier Schottky (JBS) diode is fabricated using selective p-NiO/n-Ga2O3 heterojunction and applied in temperature sensing. Compared with the Schottky barrier diode ...

Occludin (OCLN) mutations cause human microcephaly and cortical malformation. A tight junction component thought absent in neuroepithelium after neural tube closure, OCLN isoform-specific expression ...
