Mesenchymal cell differentiation and diseases: involvement of translin/TRAX complexes and associated proteins.

abstract：:Tight junctions of epithelial and endothelial cells form selective barriers that regulate paracellular transport of solutes, immune cells, and drugs. Tight junctions consist of proteins that physically "seal" the tight junction but also form channels that allow for permeation between the cells, resulting in epithelial...
