To explore ischemia-related changes in tricellulin, MFAP5 and α-catenin concomitantly occurring with those of the cytoskeletal elements MAP2 and NF-L, immunosignals were quantified along the ischemic neocortex, including a border zone between the non- and the ischemia-affected region and in the subcortex. The gene discussed is MARVELD2; the disease is ischemia.
