Nelson K, Khan Z, Molnar I, Mihaly J, Kaschube M, Beitel G
Nat Cell Biol . 2012 Mar; 14(5):518-25. PMID: 22446737
Networks of epithelial and endothelial tubes are essential for the function of organs such as the lung, kidney and vascular system. The sizes and shapes of these tubes are highly...

Choi W, Jung K, Nelson K, Bhat M, Beitel G, Peifer M, et al.
Mol Biol Cell . 2011 Apr; 22(12):2010-30. PMID: 21508316
Adherens and tight junctions play key roles in assembling epithelia and maintaining barriers. In cell culture zonula occludens (ZO)-family proteins are important for assembly/maturation of both tight and adherens junctions...

Nelson K, Furuse M, Beitel G
Genetics . 2010 Apr; 185(3):831-9. PMID: 20407131
The vertebrate tight junction is a critical claudin-based cell-cell junction that functions to prevent free paracellular diffusion between epithelial cells. In Drosophila, this barrier is provided by the septate junction,...

Nelson K, Beitel G
Dev Cell . 2009 Oct; 17(4):435-7. PMID: 19853555
An unresolved question in vasculogenesis is how mammalian endothelial cells make lumens in developing vessels. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Strilic et al. present a comprehensive analysis of murine...

Nelson K, Beitel G
Curr Biol . 2009 Feb; 19(3):R122-3. PMID: 19211050
In a case of the familiar being strange, new work shows that the integrity of the Drosophila cardiac system depends on septate-junction proteins even though the heart lacks discernable septate...

Swanson L, Yu M, Nelson K, Laprise P, Tepass U, Beitel G
Genetics . 2009 Jan; 181(4):1281-90. PMID: 19171940
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) control cell and organism growth through evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways. The mammalian acid-labile subunit (ALS) is a secreted protein that complexes with IGFs to modulate their...
