The molecular structure of tight junctions, cellular functions and the pathophysiological roles of tight junctions are becoming clear. Of the most important functions, the role of the cellular structure in cancer spread and drug delivery are increasingly realised. It is now clear that there are fundamental changes to tight junctions during the process of cancer development. Tight junctions are also critical to the metastatic process of cancer cells. The cellular structure is also crucial in drug therapies, namely, the permeability and bioavailability of the drugs, penetration of barriers such as the blood brain barrier. This current volume aims to summarise the current knowledge of tight junctions, their role in cancer and cancer metastasis and is of interest to scientists and clinicians. 410 0$aCancer Metastasis - Biology and Treatment,$x1568-2102 606 $aMedicine 606 $aCancer research 606 $aOncology   606 $aCell biology 606 $aCell membranes  606 $aBiomedicine, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000X 606 $aCancer Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B11001 606 $aOncology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33160 606 $aCell Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008 606 $aMembrane Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16050 615 0$aMedicine. 615 0$aCancer research. 615 0$aOncology  . 615 0$aCell biology. 615 0$aCell membranes . 615 14$aBiomedicine, general. 615 24$aCancer Research. 615 24$aOncology. 615 24$aCell Biology. 615 24$aMembrane Biology. 676 $a616.99 676 $a616.99/4 702 $aMartin$b Tracey A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJiang$b Wen G$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741198803321 996 $aTight Junctions in Cancer Metastasis$93554236 997 $aUNINA
