For example, the endothelial tissue that lines the human ... It is also a function of cellular arrangement. Both cell junctions and cytoskeletal networks help stabilize tissue architecture.

Brain endothelial cells contain adherens and tight junctions that act to impede the passage of virtually all molecules, thereby maintaining the microenvironment of the CNS. Transcellular ...

Primary human brain microvascular ECs (HBMVECs; Applied Cell Biology Research Institute, Kirkland, WA, USA) and immortalized primary HBMVECs (hCMEC/D3) were used in experiments with consistent and ...

The stability of cell junctions is crucial to prevent leakage ... highlights Rasip1's essential function at the adhesion sites between endothelial cells. Dr. Jianmin Yin, the study's lead author ...

The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas have been notoriously difficult to study, but Weill Cornell Medicine ...

Many cells comprise the tumor microenvironment, but endothelial cells are particularly crucial. They line blood vessels, regulating blood flow and inflammation, and their cell junctions are the ...

Following the devastating fires that swept through Los Angeles in January, concerns are on the rise about the long-term ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have published a study on the effect of wildfire smoke on the blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from harmful substances.
