Regulation of cadherin adhesion at intercellular junctions
… of cadherin mediated adhesion at cell-cell junctions is crucial to our understanding of development and disease. This thesis focuses on the regulation of cadherin adhesion, which can be influenced by its extracellular domain interactions, ligand or antibody binding, post translational …

Intraorgan lymphatics with special reference to the pancreas
… valves of the vessels and on the width of the intercellular junctions. Such information is necessary to understand the cellular transport mechanisms responsible for lymph formation.

Capsule-based Ultrasound-mediated Targeted Drug Delivery
… and insonation. This revealed that the length of intercellular junctions increased during insonation, an effect that was linked to increased permeability. A TCE device for UmTDD was developed and tested in vivo. Fluorescent quantum dots (Qdots) were delivered and their uptake was shown to be …

The use of cultured cells with defects of citrulline metabolism in diagnosis and in the study of intercellular communication
… occurred by the exchange of metabolites via intercellular junctions between the two cell types. Co-cultures of ASS⁻ and ASL⁻ cells were used as an assay system for measuring intercellular junctional communication. This allowed quantitation of the effects of pH and extracellular divalent …

Expression and function of transglutaminase 1 in the brain
… Transglutaminase 1 is associated with adherens junctions in endothelial and epithelial cells of other tissues. Therefore we assume that the transglutaminase 1 found in the vascular and ventricular system of the brain is also involved in the stabilisation of intercellular junctions. To clarify …

Investigating viral subversion of intercellular communication
… respiratory disease and viral myocarditis. Gap junctions, which are formed by connexin proteins, directly couple the cytoplasms of apposed cells enabling immunological, metabolic, and electrical intercellular communication. The gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43; gene name – GJA1) is the most …

Investigating the control of epithelial polarisation in human kidney organoids
… polarity, concomitant with the establishment of intercellular junctions and adherence to an underlying basement membrane. Currently, this process is poorly understood in many *in vivo* situations. During mammalian kidney development, intermediate mesoderm-derived nephron progenitor cells of …
