The Honigmann-Lab Explains - What Are Tight Junctions?

All our organs are lined by barrier forming tissues that protect us against pathogen invasion and control which molecules are allowed to go in and out. To this end cells have evolved a special sealing machinery called Tight Junctions, which are able to glue all cells in the barrier forming tissue together without leaving any gaps. Find out how Tight Junction form selective barriers by looking through our microscopes and solve challenging jigsaw puzzles to form a sealed tissue from cells.
