Abstract excerpt
The integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier depends on intercellular junctions that are highly regulated by numerous extracellular and intracellular factors. E-cadherin is found primarily at the adherens junctions in the intestinal mucosa and mediates strong cell-cell contacts that have a functional role in forming and regulating the epithelial barrier. Polyamines are necessary for E-cadherin expression,...
