Intercellular junctions and the permeability barrier in human sebaceous glands
Abstract
Human sebaceous glands were studied by electron microscopy using lanthanum tracer and freeze-fracture methods. Gap junctions but no tight junctions were found. It is suggested that the essential permeability barrier may be formed by the secreted sebaceous neutral lipid.
