Since the initial discovery of the claudins, the field of tight junctions and cell polarity has become increasingly energized, mainly due to the fact that the claudins have provided an opportunity to understand the molecular basis of the tight junction function and their tissue …
Integrins play pivotal roles not only across a wide range of physiological processes including tissue morphogenesis, immune responses, wound healing, and regulation of cell growth and differentiation, but also in numerous pathological phenomena such as autoimmunity, thrombosis, …
The significant biological subject, the permeability barrier, is incredibly diverse and vital for a vast assortment of crucial functions in the body. In Permeability Barrier: Methods and Protocols, a variety of experienced researchers contribute techniques to study this complex …
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein belonging to the transferrin family. It acts as a defense in host animals against microbes and viruses, since it has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial and antiviral activities. Lactoferrin has been shown to regulate the growth and diff…

Microbial physiology, biochemistry, and genetics allowed the formulation of concepts that turned out to be important in the study of higher organisms. In the first section, the principles of bacterial growth are given, as well as the description of the different layers that encl…
This book focuses on lipids and the lipid bilayer, as well as on membrane protein structure and function. It provides an integrated view of membranes as functioning units and incorporates recent advances in membrane protein structure, membrane rafts and membrane fusion. The role…
Biological membranes provide the fundamental structure of cells and viruses. Because much of what happens in a cell or in a virus occurs on, in, or across biological membranes, the study of membranes has rapidly permeated the fields of biology, pharmaceutical chemistry, and mate…
