Cell–cell junctions form the structural and functional backbone of multicellular tissues, coupling adhesive complexes with the actomyosin cytoskeleton to regulate barrier function, tissue remodelling ...

Communication between cells in plants, animals and humans takes place via specialized connecting structures. An international ...

Scientists led by Sergey Troyanovsky, Ph.D., professor of Dermatology and of Cell and Developmental Biology, have uncovered new intracellular mechanisms promoting cell-cell adhesion, a process ...

In many animal tissues, stem cells continually divide to create new cells that replace old or damaged ones. However, this capacity requires strict regulation, as uncontrolled stem cell proliferation ...
