Junction adhesion molecule is a receptor for reovirus
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the attachment of the virus to cells. The junction adhesion molecule, an integral tight junction protein, has been investigated via the expression cloning and the results indicate that this molecule is a reovirus receptor.

F3/contactin acts as a functional ligand for Notch during oligodendrocyte maturation
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on F3/contactin which acts as a functional ligand of Notch. The authors demonstrate that F3/contactin initiates Notch/Deltex1 signaling pathway which promotes oligodendrocyte myelination and maturation.
