Intercellular forces generate distinct patterns of extrusion: high compressive forces (top panel) drive apoptotic cell extrusion toward the upper side, while lower compressive forces (bottom panel) ...
Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or ...
Cells in humans and all vertebrates are tightly packed together to form organs and glands — tissues essential for living, breathing and moving. The narrow spaces between cells represent natural weak ...
Australian researchers have discovered a new way that epithelial cells, which form layers in organs like the skin and stomach, attach to one another, and how they perceive growth signals at these ...
