Lesson 8 Cell Signaling and Motility: Lesson and Supplemental Information on Cell Junctions and ECM: #TUBiol3373
Curator: Stephen J. Williams, Ph.D.
Please click on the following link for the PowerPoint Presentation for Lecture 8 on Cell Junctions and the Extracellular Matrix: (this is same lesson from 2018 so don’t worry that file says 2018)
Some other reading on this lesson on this Open Access Journal Include:
On Cell Junctions:
Translational Research on the Mechanism of Water and Electrolyte Movements into the Cell
(pay particular attention to article by Fischbarg on importance of tight junctions for proper water and electrolyte movement)
The Role of Tight Junction Proteins in Water and Electrolyte Transport
(pay attention to article of role of tight junction in kidney in the Loop of Henle and the collecting tubule)
EpCAM [7.4]
(a tight junction protein)
Signaling and Signaling Pathways
(for this lesson pay attention to the part that shows how Receptor Tyrosine Kinase activation (RTK) can lead to signaling to an integrin and also how the thrombin receptor leads to cellular signals both to GPCR (G-protein coupled receptors like the thrombin receptor, the ADP receptor; but also the signaling cascades that lead to integrin activation of integrins leading to adhesion to insoluble fibrin mesh of the newly formed clot and subsequent adhesion of platelets, forming the platelet plug during thrombosis.)
