name: symbiont-mediated stabilization of host tight cell-cell junction
namespace: biological_process
def: "The process in which a symbiont organism that stabilizes the its host tight cell-cell junctions, making them less dynamic. The tight junction is a cell-cell junction that seals cells together in an epithelium in a way that prevents even small molecules from leaking from one side of the sheet to the other, and plays a role in the inflammatory response of the host."
