Microorganisms have been extensively applied as active biotherapeutic agents or drug
delivery vehicles for antitumor treatment because of their unparalleled bio-functionalities …

A fundamental function of epithelia and endothelia is to separate different compartments
within the organism and to regulate the exchange of substances between them. The tight …

Thousands of genes have been well demonstrated to play important roles in cancer
progression. As genes do not function in isolation, they can be grouped into “networks” …

Epithelial transport relies on the proper function and regulation of the tight junction (TJ),
other‐wise uncontrolled paracellular leakage of solutes and water would occur. They also …

▪ Abstract Tight junctions form continuous intercellular contacts controlling solute movement
through the paracellular pathway across epithelia. Paracellular barriers vary among …

The pathological distinction between malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and
adenocarcinoma (ADCA) of the lung can be cumbersome using established methods. We …

Tight junctions create a paracellular barrier in epithelial and endothelial cells protecting
them from the external environment. Two different classes of integral membrane proteins …

As the most apical structure between epithelial and endothelial cells, tight junctions (TJ) are
well known as functioning as a control for the paracellular diffusion of ions and certain …

The tight junction proteins claudins are abnormally regulated in several human cancers. In
particular, claudin-3 and claudin-4 are frequently overexpressed in several neoplasias …

Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is responsible for causing the gastrointestinal
symptoms of several C. perfringens food-and nonfood-borne human gastrointestinal …
