Abstract Tight Junctions (TJs) are multi-molecular complexes in epithelial tissues that
regulate paracellular permeability. Within the TJ complex, claudins proteins span the …

Tight junction (TJ) strands between epithelial or endothelial cells are formed by claudins, a
protein family comprising up to 27 members in mammals. Although many more proteins are …

Here, we describe methods for combining impedance spectroscopy measurements with
electrical simulation to reveal transepithelial barrier function and tissue structure of human …

The skin, the largest organ of the body, is an essential barrier that under homeostatic
conditions efficiently protects and/or minimizes damage from both environmental (eg …

We explored the non-thermal effects of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields and
established a theoretical framework to elucidate their electrophysiological mechanisms. In …

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) proper is composed of endothelial cells (ECs) of the cerebral
microvasculature, which are interconnected by tight junctions (TJs) that in turn form a …

We report about a new microimpedance tomography (MITO) system integrated in a lung-on-
chip that recapitulates the thin alveolar barrier including the cyclic mechanical strain of the …

Cell lines matching the source epithelium are indispensable for investigating porcine
intestinal transport and barrier properties on a subcellular or molecular level and …

The generation of physiologically relevant in-vitro models of biological barriers can play a
key role in understanding human diseases and in the development of more predictive …

The endocannabinoid system is a metabolic pathway involved in the communication
between the gut microbiota and the host. In the gut, the endocannabinoid system regulates …
