Abstract excerpt
Tight junctions regulate paracellular permeability size and charge selectively. Models have been proposed for the molecular architecture of tight junction strands and paracellular channels. However, they are not fully consistent with experimental and structural data. Here, we analysed the architecture of claudin-based tight junction strands and channels by cellular reconstitution of strands, structure-guided...
