Summary

"As the first detailed overview of the subject, Tight Junctions brought together diverse perspectives from leading investigators to provide a multidisciplinary overview of the field. Since its publication in 1992, there has been an explosion of information about tight junctions, particularly in the area of molecular structure, cell and molecular biology, genetics, and physiology. The field has advanced so fast and so far that it influences many areas of biology and now has practical implications for understanding a wide range of diseases altering epithelial permeability. This Second Edition provides every relevant aspect of tight junctions, from basic, to clinical, to experimental methods and their interpretation."

"Provided in the Second Edition: approximately 30 tables, 213 line drawings and electron micrographs, and 12 new chapters; research on new transmembrane proteins, 8 cytoplasmic plaque proteins, and numerous signaling proteins; the most recent expansion of knowledge about the molecular structure and biology of the tight junction; and a wide range of viewpoints and experimental approaches from world famous investigators." "With historic perspectives, reviews, and up-to-date research results, Tight Junctions, Second Edition remains the only comprehensive and detailed review, including methods for experimental study, basic and clinical issues, genetics, and practical considerations of therapeutic manipulation."--Jacket.
