Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Collagenase-like protease (Clp) enhances the toxic effect of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2). Clp increases the permeability of the blood–brain barrier by disrupting tight junctions and inducing ...

Adherens junctions are cadherin-based adhesive structures that mediate intercellular contacts. They form through the association of cadherins on adjacent cells, which use their intracellular regions ...

Cell adhesion is the process by which cells form contacts with each other or with their substratum through specialized protein complexes. Intercellular adhesion can be mediated by adherens junctions, ...

A new study describes a key molecular mechanism that explains how cells exchange information through extracellular vesicles (EVs), small particles with great therapeutic potential. The results, ...
