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) ...

Our bodies and organs are shielded from the external environment by tissue barriers like the skin. These barriers must be tightly sealed to prevent unwanted substances from entering. This sealing is ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable interactions between cells, as detailed in a study published in Nature Communications.
