A general model for the transfer of ions and molecules between two cells via a gap junction is presented. This constitutes a dynamical system consisting of two connected parts: the dynamics of intracellular concentrations and electrical potentials, and the dynamics of the gating in the gap junction.
In the course of the validation of blood-brain barrier in vitro models the aim of this work was to characterize two promising continuous cell lines with regard to their tightness properties. PBMEC/C1-2 and ECV304 cells were cultured in several media with different compositions on Transwell inserts.
