In all eukaryotic cells, the actin cytoskeleton is indispensable for the anchoring and organization of the subcellular compartments and organelles. It regulates most cell functions, including cell–cell adhesion, cell movement, and cell division [1,2,3]. Cortical actin participates in all events rela...
Proinflammatory cytokines cause NO*-dependent and -independent changes in expression and localization of tight junction proteins in intestinal epithelial c... Intestinal epithelial barrier function is impaired after the exposure of enterocytes to proinflammatory cytokines. The mechanism(s) responsible for thi...
Podocytes, a key part of the glomerular filtration barrier, prevent high-molecular-weight proteins from entering the glomerular ultrafiltrate. These cells have a unique structure which has been preserved over hundreds of millions of years [8]. The podocyte cell body essentially floats in the ultra...
