Differential Expression and Function of Bicellular Tight Junctions in Skin and Oral Wound Healing

Differential Expression and Function of Bicellular Tight Junctions in Skin and Oral Wound Healing

Bicellular tight junctions are multiprotein complexes that are required for maintenance of barrier function and fence function in epithelial tissues. Wound healing in the oral cavity leads to minimal scar formation compared to the skin, and the precise mechanisms for this regenerative response remai...
