Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In the blood-brain barrier (BBB), endothelial cells are joined together by multi-protein assemblies called tight junctions (TJs), which seal the paracellular space and restrict the passage of substances. Among the proteins forming BBB TJs, Claudin-5 (Cldn5) is the most abundant one. Structural models for complexes of Cldn5 and other claudins have been proposed and assessed via experimental and c...
