The mechanisms that cause these symptoms are not fully understood. The stress of heat and oxidative damage during exercise causes disruption to intestinal epithelial cell tight junction proteins ...

The formation of tight junctions by parietal epithelial cells (PECs) creates a barrier that confines proteins to the Bowman's space, say the researchers of a new study. Disruption of these tight ...

This sealing is achieved through structures called tight junctions. However, how these tight junctions form has long been a ...
