Effects of extracellular calcium depletion on membrane topography and occluding junctions of mammary epithelial cells in culture

Ca2+ dependence of occluding junction structure and permeability, well documented in explanted or cultured epithelial sheets, presumably reflects inherent control mechanisms. As an approach to identification of these mechanisms, we induced disassembly of zonulae occludentes in confluent monolayers o...
