Claudin-5 regulates mitochondrial bioenergetics and protects the heart against myocardial infarction.
Claudin-5 (Cldn5) is traditionally recognized as a key component of endothelial tight junctions, however, its potential intracellular function within cardiomyocytes remains largely unexplored. This study aims to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective role of Cldn5 on myocardial infarction (MI)...
