The blood‐testis barrier (BTB) is one of the most specialised barriers in the body, crucial for establishing a protected microenvironment for spermatogenesis. Comprised predominantly of tight ...
Cell-to-cell junctions were visualized by ZO1-GFP, and the dynamics of cell junctions were captured by movies. When the cells indicated by * were spontaneously stretched, a continuous belt of cell ...
When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of ...
